October 2024

Somehow, October got away from me. It has been nice Indian Summer weather but so very very dry. I spent a lot of time watering some newly transplanted shrubs and perennials. Daylight savings happened yesterday so now its dark at 5 PM. Ugh. The fall color was nice this year despite the drought.

The dahlias were huge this year
The bluebirds returned
Digging and dividing perennials for plant sale next spring
Some golden leaves
The oranges
The reds
Hosta
Gentians in the crevice garden
My dad’s and Mom’s dahlias

The dahlias are dug now and put away for the winter. We are bringing in the hoses and patio furniture, emptying the planters, and cutting back the daylily and iris foliage. Slowly but surely winter prep continues. The season is winding down.
