The early Fall garden still blooms. Despite lack of rain and and high temperatures, the Southeast has survived.........just. The Flying Saucer morning glories are truly glorious this week after some wonderful rain last Friday.
The slow to mature peppers are almost ready to pick - is this a red or a green pepper plant?
The kitchen window box is showing off new blooms and fresh leaves now the nights are cooling.
........................and soon she will make her long flight back to Mexico, this tiny Ruby Throated hummingbird who has visited all Summer along with her mate. She buzzed my head if I sat on the porch, chirping noisily - this was her territory for the season.

Mary, your flowers still look amazing!! I just pulled my summer flowers out of the window baskets and will be adding mums and pumpkins. Your yard is so beautiful. I'm always in amazement at how gorgeous your pictures are. So lovely.

Your flowers are looking wonderful! Our sweet potato vines seem to be the only thing thriving, now.
ReplyDeleteWe were talking about our little hummers last night. We believe ours have already headed to Mexico.
