The weather is changing and so has the gardening energy. The tempo has died down to a slow pace. The time to reflect and review has set in. The blooms that have decided to stay are still delighting the soul.
Here’s what’s blooming in Barbie’s garden in April 2013
The enthusiasm has been packed away and replaced with a more relaxed view of where to go from here. Funny, that autumn always brings this out in me. I reflect on my ordinary life and see so much magic, but I tend to miss it at the time. So I am grateful for the few pleasures and the few blooms that hang around. Enjoy them with me.

Just loving my roses – not many flowers, but the feeding and mulching has brought lots of buds!

Beautiful images Barbie. I love the roses.
Happy Bloom Day. I cannot believe how much more you have in your Autumn than we have in our spring. Spring has been cold so it is late to get started.
You guys have such a wonderfully long growing season! Those Roses are heavenly, and the foliage on some of the other plants has me drooling. 😉
Happy GBBD Barbie, my enthusiasum usually returns in autumn after a hot dry summer, isn’t it the same for you, or don’t you get a second ‘spring’ when the rains come again. Christina
