September again...........

The cat is in the garden sunning herself.


What a lazy cat. Well I hope she is enjoying watching the fish from a distance. Did I say, we now have 4? well we do. My Goldfish had a baby. It took awhile to notice because goldfish are black when babies. So the shadow I kept seeing was really another fish.
Anyway tis the season of the daisies, the yellow black eyed Susies and the more Autumn flowers.

What is this.....someone eating my daisies?

These white Cone flowers are beautiful and doing well.

The magic is in the details

The light was beautiful I love how it glows through the leaves



Asters are beginning to bloom



The roses are blooming again. I love it when that happens, a second bloom.



The Holly has a load of berries this year, is that a bad sign?

I try to make every little corner special. We collect stones on the beaches and in the fields. This is where they end up, somewhere in my garden

The baskets I bought in the Spring have all done well. I will remember that for next year.

Loads of work to do before I put it all to bed for winter. I was hoping for a good weekend but it looks like it might rain. Next week is supposed to be hot again. I am soooooo ready for the Autumn cooler days.

September Garden............

I have been working on the garden the last several days. The weather has been so beautiful,cool and sunny. I have got a lot done.
One thing I have noticed that the birds are moulting. They look terrible and have for a month or so.


The Mountain Ash was so full this year. It's now berry less. A whole flock of Robins have been stuffing their faces and its all but bare now. This Robin is looking a bit better than it was but the Blue Jays and Cardinals have not replaced their feathers yet. They have bald heads. At first I thought there was something wrong but I don't think so now. I think they are just getting their winter coats.



These little birds, Tufted Titmouse are looking as cute as ever though.

There's not a lot to show in the garden now, but I got the patio stones filled in. Still not looking its best but its cleaned up at least.

It seems bigger though

I have my garden broken down into rooms. The Patio is one. The deck another. The deck is more private because of the shrubs around it.


For some reason people do not seem to like the Grakel but look how beautiful they are.


Then the Squirrels are extra busy collecting nuts and burying them. My neighbour Bud is on the warpath and is after my Skunk.


The Asters are blooming. I have brought the remaining Geraniums around to the back so we can enjoy the colours for a little longer.


I have pink Asters and White Asters and have a deep purple one as well.



The pond is also doing well and I still have 3 fish.

The little corner with St Francis is growing in this year. I am trying to use things that spread and it would look just so much better if we could put in a real fence


The Morning Glory did so well when we put it in the ground and I just wish it would come up again next year. We shall see but if it doesn't I will get another.

So as summer winds down and Fall is just around the corner. I must start to plan for next year.
