Welcome, Autumn Weather!

It’s so nice to be off the mosquito menu. As I type, I’m sitting outside with my little in-ground fountain running.

Believe it or not, I’m still trying to grow cucumbers for pickling after my garden failure. I brought an unused little greenhouse from downstairs.

Pickles in Training

As seen above, I also brought a heat box out of retirement. Meant to keep birdbath water from freezing in winter, it never proved useful until now.

Pretty sitting on my car;
not so much choking
our heat pump...
Pam, I have to ask you a question: does the above flower seem like the prolific weeds you found blooming? Has anyone else seen unfamiliar plants sprouting in your yard/area?

    My 2nd favorite food, after popcorn, and before watermelon.

    I'm wearing a jacket this morning and loving it. Such a beautiful time of year.

    Have a fabulous day and week. Scritches to the kitties and a hug to you. ♥

    Nice fountain. Good luck with the cukes. I have never seen that kind of plant. XO

    I always just hope the unfamiliar plants aren't poisonous. I have no idea what some of them are or where they came from. Makes me uneasy to think about it. I love pickles.

      I wish we could send you our pickles. :D They are a local favorite. lol But with wildlife around that can potentially be poisoned, I especially understand your uneasiness. Be well!

    Not the same flower but pretty sure that they might be in the same flower. Really, haha, at this point we have had little to no rain in Sept. so, not got a lot of flowering weeds in the yard! lol....But on the flip side, I don't have to pay the dude to come and cut. As for being off the blood sucking list, I love living in this house for that reason. When I lived (28 yrs) on the creek, it was impossible to get from the front door to the car without getting bit, and that is even if you were running. About three weeks ago I got several bites here at the house, no issue all summer so I think it was a matter of filling up before cool weather! BRATS..

      I killed two before they made off with my blood. ~evil grin~ The weather has dried out here, as well, but hasn't stopped the weeds. lol
