Just a few shots of summer, as she began to slip away ~
Kentucky Wonder Beans planted by little gardeners and their flag displayed:
I don't plant many red and white flowers, but these petunias have been showstoppers this year:
A new Rose of Sharon, and two sedums - stars of the late summer garden:
A closer look, including a honeybee in the sedum:
The first Aster to blossom, along with a late blooming Phlox. Look at the buds on that aster!
Geraniums and Impatiens:
The back forty of the property, looking south towards the house:
And finally, one of the few sunflowers of many planted this year that survived the onslaught of rabbits and woodchucks to bloom wildly around the farm...this single stalk had twenty-two blossoms all at once!

Cary...I'm so glad to see your post. I was concerned about you. No serious change in leaves in NC yet, that comes in late October, but I remember the beautiful maples in MI the year we moved away Oct. 1st. I will never forget my beloved Michigan!
Hey Good to hear from you! I was getting a little concerned as well. The weedy stuff are changing colors here. Not too many trees just yet. We are still harvesting apples. We had a wonderful abundance of fruit this year. Take care!
My favourite time of year is here and I want wool all around me!
I'm sure the sheep are enjoying the cooler weather and I need to get jackets on the lambs before they destroy their fleeces haha :-) I am making a blend of the grey Corriedale lamb you sent me with some kid mohair in a pewter colour...lovely stuff, will be a joy to spin.
Love all of your flowers, Cary! Beautiful! Sadly, all of my flowers were eaten by grasshoppers! It is so dry here, and hot. We are still in a drought, as is much of Texas. Our fall colors will come around Thanksgiving. Although, some leaves are dropping from the trees, because of the drought, we still have a lot on there to change color.
Lovely peek into the last of your summer : )
