August is a time for change; flowers become fruit and vegetables, great swaths of rudbeckia dance in the breeze, and the nights get cooler with each passing day.
Another change is the recent movement of Mosaic Monday from Mary's Little Red House to Judith's Lavender Cottage. Many thanks to Mary for creating and hosting the gathering for several years and to Judith for offering to continue this regular event.
Have a lovely week.

Oh so true. There's a hint of fall in the morning sun here in the Pacific Northwest. You've captured it well in your post today, that ever so subtle reminder that autumn is on its way! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteA. beautiful collage and a lovely description of summer.
ReplyDeleteI went over your mosaic twice Karen so as not to miss a single ripening vegetable or blossom, great capture of the bee too.
ReplyDeleteIt has felt like a autumn for a couple of weeks already, I think I must have missed summer somehow.
Thanks for linking to MM, welcome to the party!
Beautiful images, Karen! Your green beans look delightful! So do your flowers and tomatoes. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, Your photos are so pretty. Summer sure slipped away from us. I see/feel touches of fall here in GA too.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful mosaic of summer's many changing moods, some teary, but nourishing, and others cheery and bright. I miss Mosaic Monday, and hope to rejoin as soon as time allows! Thanks for sharing your garden's sparkling personality!

Looks like your garden is still doing great. Nothing like fresh veggies homegrown.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures of your lovely garden :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers and colors. It is great to keep the bees happy.. We really need them! Lovely garden shots. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteTomatoes warmed by the sun, fresh from the garden are the best! Your veggies and flowers look great!
ReplyDeleteWow, Karen! Your garden is gorgeous. Abundance reigns! Nothing like a home grown tomato. Lovely shots. Have a grand week! (Hope Clare is doing well in her new home.)
ReplyDeleteChanges are quietly creeping into the garden. We enjoyed kale, tomatoes and potatoes today with a small piece of beef cooked in the slow cooker. Looks like you have lots of beans still to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteKaren - love your mosaic - great pictures! We a few loads of garden items to the new house this weekend...I was able to place a few of my plants and some of my garden art...I was in heaven as it seems that the summer has passed us by...hope you had a great weekend!

Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteSummer is winding up, but gardens are in their glory, and everything is so pretty this time of year.
There is a hint of fall in the air isn't it . . . beautiful pictures
ReplyDeleteTomato and egg on toast sound like a delicious breakfast. Your vegetables and flowers are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteJust today we were talking about the weather and the light, and how both make us feel as though fall is approaching very quickly.
Hello Karen
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking wonderful and full of summer's bounty!
I'm so looking forward to get back in the garden next month - my list of "must have" plants seems to be growing by the day!
Is the yellow flower Coreopsis - I'm sure I need that one too!
Lovely catching up with you at Judith's!

Hi Karen, your mosaic is so pretty with summer colours. I hope you have a wonderful week. Pam
ReplyDeleteWonderful garden pictures! Change is in the air here too. It has that pre-fall feel to it, and I am enjoying the relief from extremely hot temperatures.
ReplyDeleteTomatoes on toast are a delightful breakfast. I like my egg on the side, though. Your garden is filled with colour and texture. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh Karen, everything is looking lovely. What a beautiful mosaic. Its a beautiful time of year.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though your garden is looking beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteKaren I am bowled over by your garden. The rain and cool temps that followed made for unhappy tomatoes here...love the colors of your garden.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mosaics, your garden looks so beautiful. What a delicious breakfast idea too :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy weekend.

Lovely blooms and veggies there :) There's nothing like summer tomatoes grown in our own gardens, is there :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful garden photos with the raindrops and little bee! Sun ripened tomatoes are one of the best things of summer! xo Karen
