Garden Petering Out

After crying my eyes out for 

this little girl....guess who

showed back up yesterday!

I panicked I guess...

But in my defense, this girl is 

always there. She never ventures

far from the barn and I called and called...

I walked the pasture and there

was not sign of her.

I went to the barn

early yesterday morning to clean

and after being there an hour

I heard the fimilar sound

of Tigress' meow.

Here she comes walking

across the beams in the 

barn.

BRAT.

I wanted to wring her neck but

instead I loved on her.

I had stopped watering outside

due to my health issues

and not having the

get up and go to go.

My Egyptain Bean plant had not

been producing blooms and 

seeds but after rain

yesterday.....it decided

to give it the ole plant

try again!

If you look you can see a black

seed nestled between the 

two pink blooms.

Yay...I actually found two!

Once the blooms die back

there will be more seeds.

Yep, picked that babe

and took it in to plant

next yr.

Wow...this little guy

is losing his color.

Probably need to paint and seal

him for next yr.

Give him his pop of

color back.

Mom and Chris (he is taller

than me) thinks I need

to clip back the low hanging

Crepe Myrtle limb...however

I can walk right under it so it

stays. I like it hanging over

the steps. 

I showed my son Cory a pick

of the stepping stones when

I was in Calif. He smiled and 

said that he could not do that...

he likes things to be like

they should, there should be

formality in the garden!

HAHA...he is so like me in 

so many ways but not when

it comes to color I guess.

Here is the last of my red Zinnias.

Story behind these are....my mom

loves red Zinnias but they are

hard to locate. Last yr I bought her

one, it looked red but when I got

it in the light it was

really a deep orange.

I found seeds for red Zinnia's this

spring so I planted them. I have been

cutting and taking her some.

However, these are mine.

When the blooms try out they

will be put back for seeds.

My wandering Jude. It was just a 

small piece but it is amazing

now. It is in a pot so I will

bring it in from the garden 

in a few weeks.

I got the start of this from my 

mom who 40 yrs ago got

a start from my aunt.

Something, probably the feral cat

broke off a couple of 

pieces so they are now

in the house to root.

I can't keep this full.

The activity at the feeder is

busy these days...Birds preparing

I guess and trying to put on 

some weight.

Hummer feeders are

staying busy also.

Not sure if you can see it 

or not but I was trying to 

catch the spider web attached

to the chimes.

The outdoor market down the

street got their pumpkins 

in the other day....

Sign of fall.

 I love fall.

I love the colors...which is funny

cause I really don't care

for orange unless it is fall time.

I love the smells of bonfires and

the fresh slightly cool

snap in the air. 

HAHA and with that...it will

be 90 degrees today!

WHAT? Come on FALL

I am so ready for you.

What is your fave season?
