You can tell it is fall and we are far behind on the firewood, because we went out after work again to pick at it. But we were sitting in the gazebo with a glass of wine, and started to feel guilty, so what the heck. Frank might as well use at least one tank

It’s stress relief to get out in the garden, even if just for an hour, after work in the evenings. This year has been so wet, though, that mostly tonight we got out there because the lawn was long enough to cut as hay, and it was finally dry enough to mow. All of the fall flowers are in full bloom right now, and looking quite lovely. I need more of them, though. I’m mostly green, with a few splashes of pinks and yellows here and there. Oh, and some purples as well, with the asters and obedient plants. We haven’t had a freeze yet this year, so the window boxes are still in fine form as well. The leaves on the trees are getting more and more color. I think we’re still two weeks from peak color, though.

I’m back from my first business trip after my surgery, which was exhausting, but I at least went outside and took a ton of pictures, did a little weeding. Lots of dead-heading. We still have quite a few late summer flowers, though the trees are starting to change. The burning bushes are at peak, I

The garden right now is absolutely gorgeous. Fall is so close. My burning bushes are turning, and the trees around the house are just starting. Peak time for us for fall color is usually the first weekend in October, which I realized today is not really that far away. Fall feels like Mother Nature’s reward

What a difference a month makes. We spent much of today hauling up the window boxes full of annuals (get it? annual migration?) from the basement to the back deck, which is now completely lined with flowers. Yay! They look so pretty, even if they are not quite cascading yet. But the temps for the
