It's feeling like autumn with chilly nights, lots of rain, and sunrises later and later in the morning. The kitchen is full of tantalizing aromas. And there's been so much growth this year that the bush can use a good thinning. Can you see the forest for the trees?
The Garden Girl is always community-minded. This week another presentation, to praise but also sound the alarm about water. Much learned and much appreciated by the audience of about 40.
Around the pond the feral apple and pear trees are drooping below eye level. More pruning! Here's a before, during, and after. Other greenery takes over and, predictably, less becomes more.
A semi-sunny yesterday ragtopped us to the last car show of the season. Works of art on wheels. All-ages crowds gawking at all-ages cars!
Oh, there was the annual Giant Pumpkin weigh-in and, like the pickup trucks outside, the winners were half-tons. Kids could play fireman (I was over the height limit...). And there was a literal Rat Rod (look closely at the hood).
Sunshine brings out the dazzling colours. Pat's fave was a '40's creamy yellow hauler. For me, how to choose between two red and white Fords? Shine on!
