Anyone else tired of pumpkins?
Of course, I ask that completely tongue in cheek as I've been responsible for a good many of those pumpkin pics out in the blogosphere!
Fall has FINALLY arrived here in Houston; the thick humidity has evaporated in the wake of cool, crisp air swooshing in over the weekend. I can't even BEGIN to explain how happy I am to be able to breathe this air. S'Wonderful!
Because summer has a hold for so long here, our gardens -- crepe myrtles, plumbago, snapdragons, and all the others, are still blooming despite the looming monthly calendar change. Today, my baby and I walked around the garden, her little lisp sweetly announcing each flower we saw. Unlike her mommy, the Little Lady loves to be outside -- anytime, anywhere, and in any amount of humidity. She has no idea how much I normally sacrifice to take her outside.
But -- there was no sacrifice today. I gladly stepped outdoors, tot and toys in hand (er, arms), to enjoy our late blooming flowers on a beautiful day.
Now . . . if only the bleepity blank mosquitoes would LEAVE!

i love the vividness of the top photo. i could almost touch the texture of the petals.
Beautiful flowers! A magical WW to you!
Very pretty!
Those are beautiful and after going through tons of WW posts today... umm.. a little tired of pumpkins, but I have to say my WW post is pumpking themed too. I should have thought twice! LOL
Pretty shots! Our weather finally cooled off too here in FL. Too funny because I feel the same way normally about taking my toddler outside- way to hot and humid. But, yesterdaay we happily played for almost 2 hours!
Happy WW
well, mosquitoes are long gone here . . . but so are those gorgeous flowers!
The flowers are very pretty! Fall has arrives here as well. It's below freezing at night and around the mid 40's and 50's during the day. Halloween is suppose to be nice and then this weekend near 80. Uh, yeah, go figure!
I love it!
Yeah I do have a foot issue! :)
Beautiful shots ! Happy WW !
Gorgeous flowers. Lucky you to have them in your yard!
Love that first shot! I waited till the last minute to buy a pumpkin this year--it's all moldy--no pictures of pumpkins here!
I will never tire of pumpkin pics. Ever! ;)

Great pictures. I'd welcome a little of your endless summer... It was so cold and windy here yesterday that it was snowing sideways!
Mosquitos suck.
Ha, ha, ha.
We still have pretty flowers here too. Well we did until the heatwave hit and fried them all. This weather is so strange.
Thanks for the refreshing photos! I'm tagging you http://sexdiariesofamom.blogspot.com/2008/10/ive-been-tagged_29.html
Love your new design, and those that you've designed!!!!! Fantastic.
Not sick of pumpkins, but totally loving the shot of the pretty pink flower! Nice change from so much orange! Is this flower in your yard?
P.S. There's an award for you over at my blog! :)
Amen on the mosquitoes. It was in the 50s this morning in south Florida. Lovely. Gorgeous flowers. Although it did remind me that I still have to find pumpkins to carve. argh.
