I made a loose arrangement of the hydrangeas. Filled a mason jar that happened to be on my kitchen counter with the roses and made three nice nosegays with the lavender. Savoring the lasts bits of summer.

For the first time I've just added a new top dressing as we go into fall and winter. The springtime mulch was faded and compacted, and it is dry this time of year. We entertain in our home several times between September and December and I want the front entry to look its best. Why should summer get all the glory?

There are so many beautiful plants well suited for this season. Look beyond the mums and find companion plants.
