For the Tuesday Garden Party even my latest stitching features some plants!
The recent rain has meant that I can wait a bit before watering the flowerbeds.
The plants seem renewed and invigorated by the rain water.
The nasturtium leaves collected drops of rain.
And the deer trimmed the plants to expose the flowers.
I still need to water the Front Porch Plants.
This fuchsia is loaded with blossoms and is a hummingbird magnet.
Amazingly the foxgloves are still in bloom.
My violas are happy with the cooler temperatures.
They're big enough now I should move them to larger pots.
I have three clumps of Rudbeckia and though the deer and have pruned them hard two or three times, the plants have responded by branching out and rewarding me with tons of long-lasting flowers.

That Tabby Cat is soo sweet! Love it! My foxgloves are still going too. :)
Love the cat and all the flowers. Black-eyed susan is one of my favorites.
How cute is that finish!! I love the little blue bird perched on the cat's back.
You must be getting our rain, Beth--things are so dry here. We've only had 1/4 inch of rain all month!
Oh how I miss foxgloves, mine have disappeared! xxx... Brooke from creativecountrymom.com PS>> thanks for linking up to the #tuesdaygardenparty!

I like your Owl header. You have some really good ones there. I have done one of them. The Cricket Owl.
O is for October and OWLS! So cute--so many! I don't think I have EVER stitched an owl. Doesn't mean I wont tho! Just hasn't worked out that way! Love the rudbeckia--they are so vibrant! The fuschia and foxgloves look like they will be around a while more for you! Hugs!
