That In Between Time


It's that in between time of year. It's not Summer and it's not quite Fall. I don't remember this when I grew up in California. I think we had only two seasons there. But here in Illinois we are stuck at in-between right now.

So what do we do at that in between time? I changed my wardrobe to my Fall/Winter clothes even though it probably is too early as warm days are still ahead. Just not hot, sunny days. I know I'll need to pull something out for a hot day, but I'm really ready to embrace Fall. And, have you seen that great array of purples in the stores? I didn't think there were so many shades of purple. But, be careful when choosing your purple because as I found out some will not be flattering on you depending on your coloring. But DO indulge in at least one thing in purple. When was the last time purple was so prominent in a season?

Okay, so back to that in between time of year. It's the time when you clean up the yard putting your garden to bed. Whew! What a workout today! I decided to get rid of some perennials that weren't performing that well anymore. That part of the garden looks "new" again. I'm not quite ready to put the garden accessories away yet. I enjoy seeing those out through the first frost. I hope that doesn't come until November. Wouldn't that be nice!
