Looks like
the flowers and foliage
are starting to fade off
just as
the summer ends.
A few shots of the yard
this past weekend.
Hoping your days
are warm and sunny
where you are.

Life in a vintage Midwest polo barn and stables - decorating and collecting in English country style.
If I could wave a magic wand, I would have four houses in four hemispheres so I could travel with summer. So sad to see things going away! (although tending to everything gets to be too much sometimes). Oh well, fall here we come.
ReplyDeleteAlison, it's still hot and sunny here. LOL More triple digits this week, but they say a cool front is coming. Ha, that means the highs will be in the 90s.
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed the linky party this month. I should have planned a head. Sarah
Alison, your flowers still look wonderful! With the warm weather that we still have, ours are still holding on. Your photos are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSummer is still hanging around here, but you can just tell....it's different. Love the pink pillow with the black!
ReplyDeleteAlison- Summer still looks pretty beautiful at your house! I am having a hard time letting go of it this year- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHi Alison:
ReplyDeleteI love your end of summer pictures! It was such a hot summer and it appears your flowers have survived it all very well. Lovely pictures and surroundings! I love the pillow colors and especially the black and white pillow on the chair! Still hope that someday we will meet.

Oh what beautiful gardens still full of beauty. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo hot here still that everything is really having a hard time. Your yard looks amazing. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeletesuch a pretty, lush yard! This is probably the first year that I've been sad to see summer go. I'm a fall girl, but for some reason, I'm just not quite ready for it yet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Alison....just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteoh alison, the property is so amazing in every season. someday i will shoot it in all its glory with my little camera.
ReplyDeletelove to you.

Your yard still looks wonderful even at the end of the summer...still warm here...but hoping for the cooler temps soon...Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yard and photos, thank you so much for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteYour yard still looks so beautiful! Ours is fading and has a lot of dead spots. I hope your transition to fall is lovely. Your photos are beautiful Alison.

I guess I can quit worrying now about all the stuff that didn't get done over summer huh? I'll start fresh on what needs to get done for Fall.

Hi Alison,
ReplyDeleteYour yard still looks lovely. I'm afraid the heat and humidity we've been having this past month has stressed most of my roses and a lot of my other plants. I'm a fall person so I'm more than ready. What's the Favorites on the First topic for October? I want to be ahead of the game, sorry to have missed September.

It is warm here but on Sunday it is supposed to cool off for awhile. MY flowers are all looking TEWRRIBLE right now. It is weird, just last week I was thinking how GOOD everything looked and now they have all lost their petals and are rotting from too much rain:( I plan to dump my pots this weekend:(:(
ReplyDeleteYes, we bid adieu. I do personally prefer spring and fall seasons.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking pictures, Alison.
ReplyDeleteCan I come visit sometime,lol!
I am so glad to have found your wonderful blog! I can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteI wish my plants looked this good! Between the hurricane last week and the extreme Louisiana heat they look a little pitiful! I'm your new follower!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI loved your kitchen feature at Kim's. It is absolutely GORGEOUS!
Have a great day!
Pam
Great photos! I'm expecting warm days...I'm still in winter here!
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is wonderful, I came from SSS. And I'll continue visiting the rest of your house.
Besos from Argentina (with very good polo players!)
Just put your blog in my favorites. So glad I found you!

Just stopping by to say that I enjoyed the tour over at Kim's! Your home is always one of my absolute faves! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat you are calling a "fading garden" looks pretty darn good to me. Until today (we got a down-pour), it had been so hot and dry. Everything was really looking parched, including me...lol!
ReplyDeleteJust visited your kitchen over at Kim's. I've seen it and drooled before, but I was happy to do it again. It's just gorgeous!
Beautiful. I love this time of year in the garden when the light outside is so soft.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Laura
Love your home. Your kitchen transformation is fantastic. Found you through Kim!
ReplyDeleteAlison no matter what the season is, your grounds always look stunning! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi! Alison,
ReplyDeleteOmg! your flowers and plants still look amazing! Sadly, ours are pretty much done for the season. Some of our leaves on the trees are already changing here. Autumn is just around the corner. Hoping to have some warmer weather for just a bit longer. Hubby is welcoming the cooler Autumn...as he is not a fan of hot humid weather.lol
Love your wonderful photos. Gorgeous! landscape and home. Have a sunny weekend!
Blessings & Hugs,
Marlene
Hmmm...somehow I missed this post earlier. Your flowers still look petty good. We are expecting a wonderful weekend with temps in the 70's but bright and sunny...doesn't get much better than that.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week-end yourself.
Terri
Saw your lovely kitchen on Savvy Southern Style today. I LOVE IT! I'm designing the kitchen of the house we are building and your kitchen looks like it will fit perfectly! Can you possibly send me the complete layout? I can't tell where the fridge is. My email address is bhmoore@atnex.net. Thanks for any help you can give me! I look forward to getting your future posts.
