Late August......

 Late summer days are nice and hot....mornings cool....hint of fall. But , shhhhhh, don't tell anyone. Don't want people getting frantic. Thanksgiving ( Canadian, of course), just around the corner, Halloween, pumpkin pies, Remembrance day, and then Chrissstttmmmaaas.....ssssh. Don't tell anyone.  But the Hibiscus are blooming, like they always do at the end of summer. And this year, are completely fabulouss. If they were fashion models , I think they would strut down the runway...

                Pale Pink Hibiscus.....huge, moon faces peering out from railings.

                    Pink Hibiscus. Falling everywhere. Falling over, into the doorway.

 Peace roses ( at least, I think they are Peace Roses), blooming later than usual. Huge. Fragrant.

And last of the sweet peas, growing pea pods as we speak, even though this group  is picked every day. Coming to an end. Never long enough....... but it is almost fall ( ssshhhhhh, we won't tell anyone).
