Awww...... they  have flown......Oh well good to see them off! hummingbirds everywhere Borage and yarrow cabbages are starting to curl up. Raspberries are in full swing! Zuchinni Potatoes Rhudebeckia and Blue Flax Cabbage Patch Pumpkins doing well!

The Robin eggs hatched and they are hungry! Same chickens...we may need to add a couple next year.  the chicken coop needs some work this fall. the pigs love herbs like comfrey and oregano.

Not really sure how rare it is but I must say I have never seen this in the last ten years on this property. At first I thought it may be a wild asparagus then it bloomed! The Phantom Orchid

An Iris I planted 10 years ago finally appeared! Another 10 year old that came out this year...this one was my favorite surprise! the elderberry blooming an iris I traded orange false dandelion I needed to take some time off from my art. I just was not in the mood to create anything. Spending the last couple of months outside.  My Dad was a huge influence in my gardening and outdoor life and I am seeing him especially this year. I did a lot of planting the first year I lived here and I had yet to really see the results of those initial plantings. This year I noticed. New Robins's Nest in this years Christmas tree A sign of good luck for the whole of next year
