I know I post a lot of the warm and whimsical on my site! But I am not trying to solve the worlds problems here! I don't have any complaints to air about politics, or my life, or zits or anything. I just wanted a site to share with my family and anyone who might like to stop by and take a deep breath and relax for a moment. Just stop and smell the Roses! (if you have a photo to contribute send it to daffodilsanddragons@hotmail.com and i will credit you in the post)
Saying goodbye to the colors of summer is always hard. If it wasn't for the new colors of Fall it would be much harder!

Lovely colours! :)
From the name of your journal, "Daffodils and Dragons", I thought you might be Welsh at first (until I saw you're from Oregon). Daffodils are our national flower emblem and we have a dragon on our flag!
Anyways, take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Michelle sent me :)
Change is always good. You will enjoy those colors of spring more after you see them after a bit of gap.
That is the prettiest trash can I've ever seen.
Faira,
Just a reminder to do your fall clean-up. For me, this means cleaning up any dead or dying fans on my rhizomes and checking for rot or soft spots.
Fall clean-up is good for several reasons. It can help with leaf spot throughout the year. (Leaf spot is a fungus that lives in the soil and is splashed up on the leaves when it rains.) It can winter over in debris left around your rhizomes, so clearing this is a good idea. This won't guarantee the absence of leaf spot, but IMHO...it definitely helps. Fall cleanup can also help curb borer activity. The moths that lay borer eggs do so in the debris surrounding the plant. The eggs then overwinter in the dead foliage and hatch in the Springtime. Don't forget, you shouldn't compost the debris because you can unknowingly spread pests and disease into other parts of your garden. Burning it or throwing it in the trash can is a better idea. You can also spot aphids in between loose fans and squash them before they have time to weaken your plant.I always like
helping my mum in the yard.How do you keep the your grass so green.
you need to send Sam I am some seeds.
Your site is so nice, lovely photos, and just a kind vibe.
Hi Faira. When the snow covers the ground, we'll all be able to drop in and see your wonderful pictures and stories.
Thanks!
Visited from Michele's tonight. I really enjoyed this visit!
Hi Faira! My mommie says you should come & visit her yard with your green thumb & special flower power! Although I must admit, she had some marigolds that went hay-wire & took over the world, well almost! My favorite flower that she planted was the portulacas. I think they're cute. But unfortunately, she forgets to water them.
~Woof!

Hello Faira - Stopping by via Michele's. I love to garden too. I found this quote and put it on a post in my blog. It seemed appropriate for this post too.
Autumn is a second
spring when every
leaf is a flower.

I dont' think I've ever seen a prettier garbage can. And of course, that can has nothing on the other photos you've posted.
I'm here via Michele tonight, and I'm glad I made the trip.
Exactly as sandy says! That's the prettiest and best smelling garbage can in your neighbourhood no doubt!
Thanks for the pic.

nikki-ann, In America, one cannot assume anything!LOL!
I live in Oregon, yes.
My father's parents came from Ireland. My Mother's, parents came from England. My grandmother from England had a brother who loved Wales so much that he spent most of his life there even though Grandma made her life in America.
He never married and came to America to be with my Grandmother late in his life. He used to sing Celtic songs and tell me Celtic legends and stories. As a child I loved anything Celtic and as you saw by my choice of name for my Blog, I still do. My soul is Celtic! If I could live anywhere in the World it would be somewhere in Wales! But don't tell the Leprechauns!LOL!
thank you for sharing about the flag. He has an AWESOME blog.
(steal this flag.)
I can safely say... I've never seen a trashcan shot look so beautiful.
very artsy.
