It was still hot as hades and muggier than hot cocoa outside, but I could see the promise of my favorite season coming to Octonia. The flowers were tipping toward the golden yellow that marked the autumn, and the sunlight lit up the house more fully because of its lower place in the sky. The temperature was still soaring, but I took hope in the fact that I was removing the spent tomatoes and cucumber vines from the garden and watching the cornstalks dry in the beds. I was going to be able to get mums and hang cornstalks for the new storefront soon.
As I gathered the last of the yellow cherry tomatoes before composting the vines, I planned out my autumn decorating plan for both shop and house. Cornstalks for the front of both structures. Mums in pots at both, too, to be planted over tulip
