September 2012 in our Wildscape

Last weekend, Mother Nature blessed us with at least 6 inches of rain. What a difference it's made in our Wildscape! Last month (August), I didn't have the heart to shoot "This month in our Wildscape"....too hot and dry. And depressing. So are lots of photos to make up for my laziness last month.....

Our front yard....









Now we go the oak motte in The Meadow.
The Meadow.
We're in the back yard now...


The Buck-hannan bed (named in honor of Lake Buchanan–that's how the locals pronounce the name), where my northern spicebush is struggling along with morning glories that James gave me for our sixth anniversary.
 



We've just got to figure out what to do with the paths, which get muddy after rains...mulch maybe? It's got to be inexpenstive!
My assortment of pots contain native plants that I collected from our land or yard– greenthread, wedelia, prairie verbena, dayflower and yarrow.

I know what you mean about the depressing nature of "too hot and dry" -- I haven't posted anything in over a month. No real rain for us yet, but at least it's "cooler" (mid 90s this week).

Oh, I hope you get rain soon! It makes the plants SO happy!
