Love this time of year!
The air is more crisp, the breezes cool us off in the evening hours.
The warmth of the August/September sun is soaked in by the goldenrod, and black-eyed susans.
I found a few small gourds on the plants. This is the first year for growing gourds for me. I put the plants in very late. Early/mid July, the garden center had them on sale for a few dollars. Just had to try!
Geese were honking the other morning, and woke me up as they announced they were leaving the area.
My nasturtiums have dried on the stems, and I am collecting the seeds for next year's crop.
I think they might be my new 'favorite flower'... easy to grow, bright and colorful, and they expect nothing from you but a bit of sun and rain. They bless you each year with their seeds, to be put in the drawer til spring.
The grass is still very green, as the summer is not over, but hints of the new season are all around!
