Take care of that wound. I'd second Patricia J's recommendation on the tetanus booster -- I took that precaution a few years ago when I feel in the garden and split my chin open. materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-73638101939630987852013-09-11T08:03:16.729-07:002013-09-11T08:03:16.729-07:00Hostess, you may want to check with your doctor on...Hostess, you may want to check with your doctor on the date of your last tetanus booster and see what they recommend for a deeper garden wound.

Maman and I were just on Whidbey Island and you can see the September changes in the colours of plants, the fields and the light on the water.

I find it fascinating that different parts of the country have different trees. I can identify most any tree in the state of Texas, but take me to another state and I have no idea what their names are. <br /><br />Like everyone else, I really enjoy your garden posts. I should be out working in my garden, but it is just too hot here! Even in September. I will say that my salvia leucantha is blooming.

Downtown we have many Lotus trees like Paris. They are messy, though! Now our town is planting Ginkgo trees. I think they use very little water.<br /><br />At home we are almost to zero water gardening. Our city really encourages this but it is a little different. The native plants are happy campers but others suffer and are overtaken. I feel like a hippie. That's a bummer. :( lol Oh, well.<br /><br />You have a lot of material here. It would be a beautiful book. <br /><br />I love your flowers! I bet you have some hummingbird visitors. :) We still have a few.<br /><br />Wishing you joy!Shereehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06924683160315795339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-68121499941819495772013-09-10T12:29:21.468-07:002013-09-10T12:29:21.468-07:00Love the pics of your garden anytime of the year. ...Love the pics of your garden anytime of the year. I live in New England, so many of your plants and trees are foreigners to me. And I hate to cut myself, don't do it often, usually when I'm hurrying or not being mindful. But sometimes there are just accidents, aren't there?
