Indian summer

As a gardener, September always makes me a little sad and a little lazy.  There has been no rain for 30 days or more and  the temperature is in the 90s.  The impatients are not responding to my revival attempts with water plus all that water is causing black mold spots on the hydrangeas.  It's too early to plant mums or pansies for color.  I'ver been thinking about buying a Confederate rose but it's too hot to dig.

There is one plant that has finally bloomed and is showing wonderful promise.  The gingers have a gorgeous wedding white bloom that is so awesome that you have to fight the urge to cut it and place them in a vase. 

Henry Brooks Adams says it best:  "In America,.Indian summer of life should be a little sunny and a little sad, like the season, and infinite in wealth and depth of tone - but never hustled.”

I'll sit on my hands.
