Ahhh — the first tender breath of autumn has arrived.
Yesterday’s rain summoned a few mushrooms from the earth. And above me, a soft, swirling column of wings— a gentle spiral of at least 200 Mississippi Kites, slowly drifting southward in quiet grace.
A few of my fall favorites are beginning to reveal their seasonal colors. The golden blooms of Esperanza and Lindheimer Senna brighten the landscape, while the Beautyberry offers its striking contrast—lime green foliage adorned with vivid clusters of purple. Nearby, the soft lavender spikes of Obedient Plant and the deep, velvety purple of Mexican Bush Sage begin to glow in the gentler light.
It’s that quiet turning point in the garden—the time when purples and yellows take center stage, weaving together summer’s warmth and autumn’s hush in one last burst of color.
