Sunday morning


It's a beautiful Sunday morning and I took a few pictures. The aster under the living room window is just starting to bloom. So pretty in the fall. When it is in full bloom it will be so filled with flowers you won't see any green. Can't remember what the white 'bluebell' like flowers are to the right. Planted them this year for the first time and they have done so well.


This big spider (and I do mean big.... I think it's body is about 1 1/2 inches long -- eek!) has taken up residence in the southwest corner of the house. It's web is between the house, the purple fountain grass, and the lavender. I am completely skeeved and totally fascinated by it at the same time. Spiders scare me more than any other living thing, except for snakes, so it's a big deal for me to take it's picture without fainting in the process.

Hi, hope you don't mind...I wanted to look at your spider.

It's a Golden Garden Spider. We had one in the irises when I was a kid. We named her Charlotte. I know I'm in the minority here, but that is a way cool spider.

And the flowers are lovely, too.

I had no idea you were such the gardener! I love your asters! I just planted some wonderful mums that fade from brick red to this lovely creamsicle orange.

And that spider? Is really scary. That fountain grass would not be receiving any of my TLC until next spring w/ that creepy thing in it.

What a beautiful garden, Augie! I love your flowers!

And your spider too. I'm no insect wimp.

(put a bird next to me and I'll scream in terror, but I have no fear of spiders and their ilk).

Gorgeous flowers - you have quite a good looking garden. Definitely puts mine to shame. In fact, I think you need to start a weekly gardening post. Yep. That's it.

Just do me one small teensy little favor? Leave out the spiders. Thanks.

Are those cosmos? I love cosmos, I'm planting some next year. Ooohhh my morning glory and moon flowers are so pretty.

P.S. That is a cool spider! You should keep it as a pet.

Yeah! A pet! And let us compete against eachother for naming rights. ( I posted here before you know and it got sucked away somewhere.)

I think we could call the spider "Wimp Flusher-Outer." Who knew so many people were afraid of spiders.

Coco, only smug when there are no feathered beings within eye range.

Don't come into my blog bitching and complaining about me updating when you still have this nasty spider picture on your blog.
