September days tend to start cool and end much the same.
But the hours in between have been simply beautiful.
Sunshine and light breezes make time in the garden priceless.
I only wish it could last longer.

Welcome September
September arrived today.
I spent the day harvesting tomatoes, peppers and herbs.
Spent perennials were trimmed back.
Sunflower heads harvested and drying in the greenhouse.
A little fire was started to relax after a full day.
Gates are shut for the evening.
Blurred lines
Overflowing garden beds hide the raised beds.
It’s hard to tell what’s hiding in there sometimes, and I find myself nearly standing on my head to pick tomatoes.

And
all
at
once,
Summer
collapsed
into
Fall.
Sunflower partnership
The birds are enjoying the drying Sunflower seeds, dropping many to the ground.
New plants will dot the garden in the Spring.
It’s a great partnership.
Golden Garden
September has brought golden colors to the garden.
Early Autumn mornings
The mornings of September start cool and hazy.
The fields began to dry and the colors change from green to golden.
I began cleaning garden beds, and making list of chores that need to be done before our gardens go to bed.
Lovely September garden
How quickly they grow up!
The ducklings are growing quickly and tiny feathers are growing in.
Mama Duck is still attentive and keeping track of all of them.
The routine of ducks out, dogs in has been added to my list of garden chores.
Garden Homework
Laura came home to do her homework in the garden.
With camera and tripod, she decided the garden was a great backdrop for her assignment.
