So grateful for all the color still in my garden. The creatures are enjoying it, and so am I. But I will have to put in a winter garden soon -- because the grands are giving me the business! "Grandma, where did the tomatoes go?" Well...new plants coming soon dear ones!

They're called fantasy for a reason! Past years of Neiman Marcus Fanasy Gifts have included his and hers camels, orante Chinese junks, and 2,000 year-old Egyptian mummy cases. I wonder how many personal photo shoots that Annie Leibovitz will do? Or how many saddles Christian Louboutin will make? There must be a cap on some of these extraordinary items! Anyway, it's a fun start to the shopping season! Enjoy!

Very lucky We're all Halloween'ed out -- but it was a wonderful time with my buddy and my grandchildren. A few down days then...Thanksgiving!
