Happy Halloween!!!

The weather is gorg-ee-ous!

Another cool front came through,yesterday.

Bringing with it a nice,drizzly rain.

Today,finds lower humidity,a brilliant blue,cloudless sky,and beautiful breezes.

Time to get out and take a stroll around TheGreatWall.And see what scary things we might find.

….Avoiding the middle section of the garden….

….which is a scary sight in itself….

I enjoyed the tour through your "spooky" garden with all those bats and black magic going on. Eeks! Have a good one.

Those are some scary plants! The bat-face cuphea is actually very cute. I had some that didn't last. But they were great while they were around. Hope that scary middle garden gets taken care of soon.
