Yes, yes I know summer did come but it sure was a short one this year, or so it seemed. I'm still waiting for those dog days of August but now its almost September so I think I missed it.

Anyway the flowers in the garden are really pretty this time of year but even those are starting to fade.

Butterflies and hummers love these

Dahlias are so pretty and do last a long time, I just have to remember to dig up the bulbs so I can enjoy them again next year.
