End of Summer (sigh)

Seems like fall is here! The local wheat is harvested along with the mint, grass crops, alphalfa and grass hay. The Saturday Market is full of fresh local produce and honey as well as vendors selling arts and crafts. The night air is cool and the days are hot... yep it's fall! The flowers are enjoying the cooler air, the bees are busy gathering pollen. I'm just not ready, summer was too short!

What beautiful weather we are having! It is hot during the day, but cool at night. Gotta love it! I have been waiting to get just the right shot of the trumpet vine that took over the fence, the yard and the bird feeder! Today was the day. Not sure which I like best ... the organge or yellow trumpet vine. hhmmmm maybe the yellow.

The Dog who Digs the Gardens

I have been asked what the dog who digs the garden looks like. Just a little bit about her... Her name is Elvira, she is 9 1/2 months old, weighs in at just under 70 lbs., her color is blond-brindle. She loves to play in the sprinkler and play with her toys. Her breed is English & American pitbull/bull mastif.
