| The morning sky |
It is now officially autumn, my favorite time of the year. It was in the 90's most all week, but today the clouds swept in from somewhere and one of them even dripped a couple of times this afternoon. It was a bit cooler but still that rain smelled so good...cold rain on hot ground. We went to Placerville this morning to a plant sale and we found three varieties of manzanita to plant under our oaks and bring some green to the yard without having to water. Oaks can not have plantings that require water under them. The prices were great...just $4 for gallon size plants...we'll be back next year!

| These are our new low growing manzanitas |
 |
| The manzanitas are going to eventually spread and cover this middle slope |
 |
| this japanese maple seedling, $4 and is going in that big pot pictured there next to it |
 |
| I love succulents and have wanted a dish garden and they had a bunch at the sale...$12...a steal. They had old shoes planted with succulents...I may try that later, even running shoes...who'da thunk! |

| This was the late afternoon sky while dripping. |

| I forgot to post a finished picture of the shed's new paint job. Larry thinks we need a mural of galloping horses across the top...Mary, ahem! |
