well well

it's almost fall here. everyone agrees that it feels like fall since it's cool and sort of dark, but the trees are still green and the flowers are still bloomin', which is nice. Here are some of mine, from my *new* garden:




also, our house is now green! which is more than exciting. we will be putting our shutters back up and they will be orangey-red and i'm so thrilled! i'm also planning to paint some of the details on the porch the same color, and maybe add another color. just cuz i'm crazee.
in other news, doggie#2 went home, but then had to come back. doggie#2 is not back with us, but back in foster care which is so sad, but i guess she's doing ok. we'll be visiting with her soon, and we'll see how that goes. It's sad to see a doggie who loves her family, but her family is not capable of taking care of her. so sad.
