Heading for Fall.................

My garden is a mess. Its still humid out there. The mornings are not too bad so maybe I can get some work done in the mornings. There is just so much to do. Yesterday I bought some Asters. They are in pots and so I don't have to get them in the ground right away. In fact tomorrow I may go to a garden center and look for more. They will fill the space until Spring. At least there will be some colour.

I like the purple ones but have white and a burgundy. They seem to take years to get established.

I like to get Winter pansies also because they come back in the Spring. I have some in a barrel and they came back and lasted all year. SO I think thats what I will do with the ones I just bought.

Now is also time to get the plants in pots in the ground. That's not a bad job as it can be done a little at a time. I have other pansies that have done well all year. I will put those in the ground soon I think
Meanwhile, I must remember next Spring to plant more Nasturtium, this year was a flop for sure.I had just a couple of blooms, and one at a time. They are beautiful so, maybe next year. I also want to put in some Sweet Peas.

I sat watching my birds this morning. The Robins are doing a fine job on my Mountain Ash. The young ones still have spots.

By Fall I am sure all the berries will be gone. The Nuthatch is hanging around.

I love the small birds and I just know they are flocking together because of what is coming.

My garden ornaments are being put to good use. This bowl is resting on a wrought iron base, so is secure and the Robin was appreciating that.

Now you cant see this very well but the Blue Jay was enjoying another of my creations and was then sitting in the tree preening his self.

The pictures didn't show him very well but he was sure having a good old clean up.

I just had to include this picture even though it's not a good shot. My camera is not good enough for action shots.

Well maybe next time I can show some actual work being done, yeh, that would be nice.
