Living Above the Frost Line is a dwelling place for practicing poets. Up here, we give ourselves some extra growing time. As said before, we know the hard freeze will come, but until it arrives we shall grow and share our poems. Flowers bloom here until the killing freeze.
September is a hardy month. Flowers are blooming across the ridge. Insects are active. Bees swarm everywhere, in fact, I have to watch that I don't cross their bee line. Butterflies thrive in a butterfuly bush heaven.

My favorite pathway with Knock Out Roses, Crepe Myrtle, Cleome, False Sunflowers and Japanese Lanterns.
As to the poetry here above the frost line, rumor has it that the poems will bloom this year, perhaps even beyond the hard freeze. Impossible, I know. It's a rumor.

Nancy,
You certainly know your flowers.
From your blog I'm learning the names to many I didn't know. As the old saying goes Nancy, "They are easy on the eyes." Thanks, Glenda Barrett
I think "rumors have it" and poems will indeed bloom above the frost line this year.
You're quite a gardener Nancy. The flowers are beautiful. I am going to miss summer - it's my favorite time of the year.

I would bet those rumors are correct. Can't wait to see/read/hear the fruits of your winter toil.
Nancy you have created the most beautiful Garden of Eden above the Frost Line!!!
