As August begins, all I can think of is how winter is too close at hand. I try to relax in August knowing that the winner ahead lacks the color that I so enjoy and relish in during the summer months. I love nasturtiums, zinnias, echinacea, and I try to plant as many as I can with the available light that’s in my yard. I know I take photos so I can remember their vibrancy and glory when the cool tones of grays and blues eventually dominate the horizon.
