Today at Iten's Acres:
Autumn is on the
way. The top of the ancient red maple is already scarlet. And the
poison ivy leaves are deep red as well. (No, I will not scratch out
that comment.) I guess the lack of rain has the leaves turning early.
Though, we did have a good rain a couple of nights ago. The golden rod
responded splendidly, thousands of them; the wild area is now a
brilliant yellow. Waiting patiently for the white heath asters and purple New England aster to join the party with more enthusiasm.
The outlaw gang joined me for a walk today. It's been awhile since
they've done that. I "found" them sitting next to Mom on the patio.
They've adopted her. Despite their obvious comfort, they were willing
to follow me when I asked them if they wanted to walk. No, I will never
be the leader of the gang. Not enough fur. And way too slow. Since
they haven't read Animal Farm yet, they are still convinced that four
legs are better than two.
Lots of morning glory, phlox, and rose of
Sharon still showing off. Have to get out early to enjoy all the
glories--even the deep blue ones have started to bloom. Two new patches
of lobelia in the wild area--sky blue--and a new patch of
lady-fingers--pink. I also love it when flowers forget their place and
spread all over. Make yourself at home anywhere you please my lovely
friends.
We may get a little more rain today. Hope so. I'm
counting on you Kathy. High in the seventies by the end of the week.
Autumn is indeed on the way. I'm ready.
