Still September

.

Today was nifty weather. Not rainy, not too windy, Perfect for hanging around the deck a bit. Mischief got to stay out n lounge. (We played with a fur-mousey on a bouncy string too). Notice the tiny, wild New York Asters that grew in the moss on the edge of the roof this year under the deck rails.

With all this warmth it's tough to believe it's aleady the end of September! The deck plants are still producing new blooms. Here's one front corner. Usually it's much colder here by now. The weather report has torrential rains moving up the coast to be here for the next several days, so these may soon get washed out. I'll be trying not to dead head n pick them all so I'll have some seeds to use next year.

The vines in the trees across the road from the deck are just beginning to turn color. They're always first here. The trees aren't ready until ten days after the first frost, n it's warmer near the ocean than inland, so usually peak tree color is in November.

Here's a closer pic of some Asters. They're all over the place this week.

Almost time to pick some potted turnips on the deck. The chicken wire n hardware wire covers have kept the critters from getting the goods.

Down by the D-bridge, the vines are getting more colorful. The month has gone by quickly.

Back to work, n more wet, cooler weather-

Have a good one...
