Autumn 2008

Welcome to our autumn photo essay. As the late comedian George Carlin noted in his brilliant routine on baseball vs. football, the fall "is when everything is dying." Accordingly, not much is visible in our garden, our primary effort being the planting of bulbs for the spring. Early in the fall, however, we enjoyed the thriving look of our morning glories...


In more recent weeks, we've planted some pansies.


The pansies shown above appear to be of the Delta True Blue variety. According to this document, "Pansies and their viola cousins have become the most popular cool weather annuals over the years... Now everyday gardeners load up on pansies and violas to bring a much needed color burst to their gardens during the dreary cold weather months."
