It's still warm enough for me to enjoy drinking my morning coffee on the back porch. The other morning, this lovely and talented spider's work was illuminated by the rising sun. The golden sunrise only lasted a moment but I was glad to experience it. All too soon I'll be leaving for work in the dark.
The fallen leaves are picturesque, not, as most of you are thinking, the sign of a lazy gardener.
Okay, they are the sign of a lazy gardener but why clean them up now when more will fall? Best to wait and blow them all into the flower beds to decompose over winter.
UPS says that 42 pounds of spring flowering bulbs will be arriving on my porch today. I'll add them to the collection to be planted once the tender plants are all in the greenhouse. Sunday afternoon is the first time I'll have off for the big migration. Next summer, we'll build wood benches for the plants but for this first winter they'll have to make due with folding tables. Should be fun! Is it looking like autumn in your garden?
