How Does Your Garden Grow?

The bunnies haven't been making frequent appearances during the day. Cinnamon braved the misty drizzle to come out for a snack.

The mourning doves are ground feeders. This guy decided he was going to be King of the Birdfeeder.

The King was joined by a Queen. Or vice versa.

By the time Hurricane Jose moved up the coast and reached us, it had diminished to a tropical storm. Most of the effects of high surf, downpours, and heavy winds were felt along the coast. I live a good 50 miles inland. We enjoyed a spectacular sunset.

Winter is coming. This is the time of year, Timex spends portions of his day jammed inside the birdfeeders. He stuffs so many seeds inside his cheeks that his head is bigger than his body. It's a wonder he doesn't get stuck inside the feeder hopper.

The mums Himself bought to replace the Morticia Petunias.

The red maple tree is the first tree to turn color and drop its leaves.

Himself also brought home these planters filled with mum and tall grass. Because the mum planter is top heavy, the wind kept blowing them over.  We used the Morticia petunia planter to brace the mums.

The petunias are making a comeback.

Most of the rain we had was a misty drizzle and not much of that, either.

We did get some gusty winds. Most of the garden kites have flown away.

All that was left of the garden kite I did in memory of Ink, were the kite tails. They will make good nesting material for the birds.
