Birthday Weekend

I enjoyed myself yesterday spending time with family celebrating my birthday. Are you a September baby? Ironic but I recently realized that I'm not actually born in the fall. Missed it by a few days since fall doesn't arrive until the 22nd. I still claim it as the time of my birth and favorite season. We're having Indian Summer. It's been hot in Philly. After being spoiled with fall temperatures, summer returned. To Primex today to see the pansies, see if paper whites and amaryllis have arrived, and see their selection of fall bulbs. Paper whites and amaryllis had not arrived but that didn't matter. Just window shopping while walking around the store, green house, and nursery was fun. There were lots of perennials marked down to $3.00's and some still full priced but the color of pansy I wanted was not available. Maybe in another week. There also wasn't a nice selection of pumpkins and gourds yet but I found a few I liked. 

Corn stalks  to decorate next week.

And Kale

These should look pretty out front in the spring minus the carrots. Actually bought a pack of carrot seeds after my poor results this season.  Had to get some seed trays for holding my seedling pots this winter. I have a few already saved from when I buy tray of annuals.

I saved you a piece.

Very Aromatic and sweet smelling.
