Welcome, September. The golden bridge between late Summer and Autumn. Some of my favorite flowers, fruits and foliage are at their peak during this beautiful time of the year. September is a mostly-summer month, with warm days and star-filled nights. Right now, late-season Garden Phlox, Hydrangea, Fairy Candles, Rudbeckia, Turtle Head, Asters, Lilies and many other perennials are at their best. On evening walks, the still-humid air is filled with the heady perfume of summertime.

Sweet-September-Sangria-

Labor Day may be here, but we still have three more weeks of summer. Grab a glass of summertime sangria and soak up the sunshine while you can!
