We have to change our mindset. Summer is not over.( Not that it really had much to say for itself this year.) We still have three weeks of official summer and the forecast looks wonderful for the next little while, so Labour Day or not, Back-to-School or not, I think our best weather of the year is here. September in this part of the world is usually blue skies and relatively bugless except for a few welcome honeybees. Also on the plus side: humidity is low, nights are cool and the lawn-mowing is slowing down.So I just did a quick tour of our gardens to share what I saw today, staring with this photogenic lettuce, probably bitter but not twisted, (above) as well as...
...green tomatoes, just ripening...
...some beets...
...a ferny frond...
...a few violas...
...a tiny blood-red rose...
...coreopsis...
...California Poppies ( I think!)...
...asters...
...and of course...
...more...
...glorious pond pictures. Here's to September!
