I bid adieu to summer

I don't know how the weather is where you live, but here in Michigan it has been rather cool cold!
 I am the first one to admit that I love cool weather, but it just seemd to hit us out of nowhere. One day it was 106 heat index and the next day it had dropped 30 degrees or so. It has also been rainy and dreary for the past few days and I have gotten much of nothing accomplished.  I think my house needs skylights or something because when it is dark outside it is also dark inside unless I turn on lights. It also doesn't help that I am now hopelessly addicted to Pinterest! I can spend hours on the computer and before I know it the whole morning is gone. Does that ever happen to you? oh my...just what I needed...something else to get addicted to. lol.

I purchased these two lavender plants at the Summer Herb Faire and still have not had a chance to get them planted. Is it too late? I haven't a clue when the cutoff date is to plant things, but I hope they will still be okay once I have the opportunity to get them in the ground.

Still loving my chippy white pots that I picked up on the 127 corridor garage sales this summer.

Also still loving my Belgium seed pots...LOVE!

I have been looking for a birdhouse for a long time to replace one that I have on a post outside that is falling apart. I found this one at the Summer Herb Faire too. I am waffling back and forth over whether to paint the roof white. What do you all think? I think it would look neat, but do I need the contrast? One of these days I will figure it out and get it put where it goes.

Love all the little details.

I took these photos in the middle of the summer and never got them posted so thought "Oh why not...my last fond farewell" to summer for another year.

Hubby and I made this beauty. Easy peasy...so neat looking for a cottage garden too.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day. I need to get off the computer and get something done. I was also wandering around on facebook today and found a little video of my tiny granddaughter playing with toilet paper so if you want to see something cute, cute, cute check this out. I think you can click here to view it, but let me know if it doesn't work and I will try to figure it out...in my spare time. lol.
Blessings~
