I am so glad you like the photos! I've been trying hard to work on my photography since the book - I had to take about half of the pics and became KEENLY aware of my lack of skills! This makes me feel better! Loree - you are right - I would TOTALLY be the sleepy, dreamy rainy day woman! HOW do you do it? This was such a weird summer here, too - mostly cool and it almost never got above the mid 80's! Unheard of! I am bracing myself for the hottest Autumn ever. i HATE the thought of sweating on Halloween! Pam - lucky Austinites!!! That is why it is so beautiful over there, your gorgeous thunderstorms! But I remember last year's drought being really hard on my Texan friends. Will there ever be a happy medium, a nice in between place? The "baby bear" weather situation? Probably not! XOXOXO!!! Kat, I didn't have any irrigation for 8 years! It was travel that made me put one in - I was tired of coming back home to a dead garden (the housesitters SAID they watered, but I saw no evidence of it!) I agree - I developed my relationships with plants because I had to go out and tend to them so closely. I wouldn't trade that for anything! SUSA!!! HI!!! So good to hear from you! Did you get some of the recent rains? I was so surprised that we actually got measurable rain! Yahoo!!! Ah Debbie, I can see it - and I think roses capture dew drops SO beautifully! MAGIC.... Denise! AAAAHHHH!!! NO!!!! Darling Tendril - you are TRUUUULY the best!!! ESP you CAD!!! Of course the Botox lady would be a source of moisture in your garden, even during a drought!!! As for me being arrested, well, it is my duty to garden in double entendre, so I may have to take it on the chin someday ... but until then I will try to make people exclaim "Oh NO, she WENT there!!!" XO-G. Rose you made my DAY!!! You too Tracy!!! I'm going to learn how to take pictures if it takes spraining my shooting finger! Hi ALL!!! I am so glad you like the photos! I’ve been trying hard to work on my photography since the book – I had to take about half of the pics and became KEENLY aware of my lack of skills! This makes me feel better!

The sun makes all the dew drops glitter like crystals on plant leaves! You can see them all glitter like diamonds which is really inspiring and relaxing. Thanks for sharing these photos. this is great photography! i usually see these photos when I get out of the house every morning to watch the sun shine.

I had a wet dream last night (ahem), it naturally involved the Botox lady...who else? All of these sort of dreams tend to revolve around her, as you can imagine! I do not need to go into any more detail...you have met her in person after all... "Say it don't spray it"! Your "old man" is delivering some serious driblets of luscious moisture? You will get arrested for these posts at some point, but I know you know this already? ESP :-) Hi G.

The horror! And if you're going to hell for irrigating during summer, then I'll be sizzling right alongside you. I think your watering system sounds very sensible.

Here in CT, I always look forward to the mornings when there is frost on the plants. Sometimes they look like they've been sprinkled with sugar and others like they're simply frozen in time. Magical indeed! Water droplets certainly do make us stop and smell the roses, so to speak. Here in CT, I always look forward to the mornings when there is frost on the plants.

I agree, water is mesmerizing. I actually don't have an irrigation system installed because I love the connection that watering gives me with my plants. I see what's going on with them more often. Yes, it can be hectic when heatwave hits, but it's a great way to learn what is truly drought tolerant. Lovely water droplet photos. I agree, water is mesmerizing.

We had a lovely wet summer in Austin this year, but of course we are intimately familiar with the horror of drought. Water is precious indeed. I need to go get a drink of water now…thirsty!
