So Long Summer!

"The breezes taste
Of apple peel.
The air is full
Of smells to feel-
Ripe fruit, old footballs,
Burning brush,
New books, erasers,
Chalk, and such.
The bee, his hive,
Well-honeyed hum,
And Mother cuts
Chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean
With suds, the days
Are polished with
A morning haze."
- John Updike

Always remeber the victims of Sept. 11 and their families

September Flower - Morning Glory

A charming climber that is perfect grown on a fence. In one season, the morning glory will grow 10 to 20 feet. The trumpet shaped flowers come in many colors; red, pink, white, blue and purple. The fragrant flowers greet the morning by unfurling then close in the afternoon.

Gardening for Kids!

Saphhire

Sapphires are members of the Corondum family of minerals. They exist in nearly every color except red because red corondums are called "rubies". Heat treatment is used to deepen the color and improve the clarity. Cornflower blue is the most popular color.

In 1865, the first US sappires were found in the Missouri River in Lewis & Clark County, Montana. They are also found in Ceylon, Thailand, Australia, India, Africa and Brazil.
