Fall is round the corner and it is hard to believe that summer is almost over and it is Back to School on next Wednesday! Not much is happening in my flower garden except for some blooming hibiscus, hydrangeas, cosmos and summer annuals:
Looks and feels wonderful to bring a little bit of nature inside the house:
The vibrant color and the size of the hibiscus flower amazes me in its beauty and splendor! Mother Nature's artistry is absolutely stunning!
