September


 The shepherd hooks and piece of rust (above)
were garage sale purchases that will find their special place
in our flower beds - SOMEwhere...
 A leisurely walk-around this afternoon
confirmed the fact that things are dry in northeast Indiana.
 The aggressive ground cover seems undaunted by the dryness
but has failed to choke a young yucca (below).
 Sun is setting, casting shadows on the picket fence
that is patiently bearing the rusty, barbed-wire wreath.


Trios of concrete mushroom and birdhouses
stand unaffected by the dryness.
I guess that's why I like the garden art that is scattered about our lawn and flowerbeds.

  2. Your garden looks great, dry or not! The new piece of rust and your concrete mushrooms are way cool! I hate to use the f word but when will your first frost come?

    1. Re: the f word......very possibly later this month. If the cicadas are any indicator (some say frost follows their first singing), it could be quite early!

  3. I agree, your garden is doing well. This dryness is worrying me. Our area was never dry before, now it is a regular thing. Where I am from originally, PA is getting too much rain. We can only hope things turn around.

  4. I agree with the previous comments, your garden looks well in spite of a dry weather. Do you shower it ?
    Here, in the region of Paris, we have had a warm and very dry weather. We collect rainwater but as it has not rain enough, the container is empty and I must shower the garden otherwise all my favorite flowers will die.
    I like the mushrooms sculptures.
    Have a good week.
