We woke this morning to an unusual morning drizzle that soon turned into a real rain shower. This is harbinger of rains to come, I think. Fall is now here with weather cool enough to make me think about closing the window at night. All the flowers are in a rich phase of final bloom but trees are starting to turn color and drop leaves.

I put in some Helianthemum (sun roses) that I picked up at the Harlequin's Garden end of season plant sale. Great place for native plants.
