The summer has drifted into beauty. Most of the trees are still green which surprises me. Some leaves are falling, but not as many as you would expect for late September. When Mother Nature weaves her blanket she will hopefully color her bed of earth with a quilt of of many hues of paint. It may be this will be a year for dry, lifeless looking patches in our autumn canvas due to to the long, continuing drought. All things end, even droughts, but the parched season has taken it's toll on gardens all around .
Lazy me. Only got a few things done this day. As LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE said, "The sun will come up tomorrow."
