Goodbye Summer and Hello Winter!

While I absolutely love fall and the changing colors I know we will be cutting back these beautiful flowers soon so I do get a little sad. Yes we do cut them back and remove all the annuals. They will soon be buried under several feet of snow and cutting the flowers back makes life a slight bit easier in the spring. If you live where your gardens are visible year round I would leave your hardy perennials for fall and winter interest. So here are some of my favorite pictures I took over the summer which is never easy to remember to do. Happy Fall!
