Fall

Sunflowers keep blooming into fall.

According to the tv news meteorologists, fall begins at 2:18 pm today. Besides the official announcements by the weather forecasters, I have other ways to tell that fall is coming, like cool mornings with lots of dew. Or days that when you work in the sun you get hot, but if you work in the shade you are cold.  Here are a few pictures from around the garden that let me know that fall is here:

Sunrise is coming around 7 am now.

Lots of morning dew.

Hubbard squash are just about ready.

So are the Rouge Vif D'Etampes pumpkins. (I love that name.)

We just got a load of wood for the winter.

The Dominique on the left is starting to molt. I'll take more pictures when she looks worse.

There was morning dew on this tomato plant. Ends up you can't see it, but I like the picture anyway.
