Twilight in Cat’s garden
A late-summer evening in my friend Cat‘s canyon-side garden is serene and lovely, as twilight hides the summer scorch all Texans are seeing in our gardens right now.
This blistering summer has taught us to be crepuscular, more active at twilight, like deer. Cat knows how to make the most of her outdoor lighting.
And how to bring little garden moments indoors to enjoy in the A/C. 🙂

What a beautiful view Cat has! I’m sure most of the year it’s pleasant to sit and enjoy what she’s created around her, but this summer can’t come to an end soon enough! Cheers!
She does have a beautiful view, and her garden is gorgeous, even after a summer like this one. And yes, we’re all panting for fall to come ASAP!
