First Week

The first week of July brought 

the garden a large pink daylily...

tomatoes growing by leaps and bounds...

a sea of blooms...

and time to enjoy them.

Would love to hear what the first week of July brought you!

"And the Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of  the ground - trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food.  In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."   Gen.2:9 (NIV)

End may be Better

 At Harmony Hills the end of September is proving to be better than the beginning.  The first week of the month we were in the 90's and quite humid.  As we come to the final days the temperatures are much cooler and more pleasant.

 Already the hills are displaying the changing colors.

In spots there is brilliant crimson foliage giving us a promise of more beauty to come.

 Chokecherry is growing wild making the fence row lovely.

Not to be outdone the leaves of the blackberry bush have turned a lovely peach color.  They grow near by.

Yes I believe the end of September is better than when it began.

Hope your end of the month is great.

Have a lovely week.

Blush

 October is beginning to blush.

There are little passages of color here and there.

Some wonderful contrasts are making a statement.

Not all of the flowers are gone.  The Malva often waits until fall to share her lovely blossoms.

Sweet Violas continue to bloom abundantly.  They seem to enjoy the cooler season.

Even these two brave dandelions are not quite ready to say goodbye.

Naturally the Asters and Goldenrod are celebrating the start of October's blush.

Hope all of you have a delightful week.   Keep safe and keep "Looking Up".
