Quiet morning

This morning's chill was the first sign that summer is almost over and fall is slowly moving in.  I decided to make a hearty serving of oatmeal (Bob's Red Mill) to take the chill off and to enjoy the last few moments of summer.
Blueberries have been in abundance at the market these past few weeks; they add a nice balance of sweet and tart flavor to the oatmeal.
During late summer the white hydrangea flowers from our garden turn a dusty pink- a sure sign that summer is almost over.
Rudbeckia in the garden. I love the yellow, brown, and green colors against the morning sun.

This hydrangea was a vivid pink during the summer. I enjoy all the phases of hydrangea and especially love this more subdued color which looks nice with fall plantings.
I couldn't resist these mums at the market. It's beginning to look like fall.
