A wonderful sign that Autumn is very close by! My "Sweet Autumn" clematis, which is a fall bloomer and a prolific climber, growing bigger every year!! It does smell sweet.

Here's some photos from our birthday celebration the other night:
The cake, the all important dessert. Nick asked for a Marble cake.

And your clematis is gorgeous! You will need to start a plant or two for your new place. The clematis here is in full bloom. But no frost warnings yet.
What a very different variety! It's been awhiel since I've popped by your blog; looking forward to catching up!
Very pretty marble effect on the cake!
So excited that Autumn is almost here! My favorite season is upon us!
