TV with Wednesday Whites and a Couple of Yellows Too.

The first of the fall season TV shows begin tonight.  I didn't even catch up on the ones I had taped last spring and now the new ones are here.  I only have 45% left on my DVR, so I better get watching or get that erase button ready.  After subscribing to all possible channels with my cable company I decided that there is no earthly way I can watch everything there is out there to watch or record and since I need to save money for that big extra expense I have every month , I cancelled HBO, CINEMAX, etc etc and got back to basics.  But even "the basics" add up, what with the monthly service fees, the cable box rentals, the DVR rental, the insurance, the various taxes, the HD service fee, and so on, I am barely saving any money by cutting back those premium channels.  I am going to have to do some investigating of other cable providers, but not until DAMAGES is over.  I am so hooked on this series and now that it is only being shown on DirectTV which is the cable company that is draining my wallet, I can't seem to bring myself to switching cable company's until DAMAGES is over.  Altho I must admit it has gotten a little "rough" around the edges for me this year.  A few too many "4 letter words", a few too many "adult only" scenes.  I am fairly open-minded but there are some words I don't need to hear, and some scenes I don't need to see.  Give me a "Dancing with the Stars" and I am happy!!

This time of the year my "Sweet Autumn" Clematis is in full bloom.  If you need a vine that covers quickly and abundantly, plant this perennial.  It doesn't need full sun, but it requires some, so don't plant it in full shade.  Give it a little water throughout the summer months and on or about Labor Day you will be blessed with tiny white blossoms that completely cover the plant. 

It covers about a 12-15 foot area on the front fence (one plant!)

And climbs up and over an arbor built on the top of the garage doors.  We have a double garage and it covers over half across, again 1 plant.

Felt the need to add a Kim Klassen texture to this little blossom. 

If you do decide to add this lovely vine to your garden, do NOT add more than 1 to a specific location because as I said before they grow fast and are profusely abundant.  Two plants would swallow whatever it is growing on.  If you want to cover a long fence, space your plantings at least 15 feet or so apart.  How many vines can give you this much for so little??

While out snapping photos of the clematis I noticed the bees almost in a drunken stupor as they buzzed around the blanket flower.  They were so happy to bury their heads and eat or drink (not sure) from the center of these blooms.  I like sharing with the bees, they do good things for us humans.

This week on Picture Inspiration the prompt is "From Where I Stand"....in other-words, take a picture of your feet.  Last week it was legs, I am hoping she stops there with the body-parts.

The time between the end of summer and the beginning of Fall.

I am off to get ready for the new Fall season on TV.  Tell me what sounds interesting to you this new season.
