The Heavenly Blue morning glories succumbed to the first frost. No blue morning glories this year.
The lawn guy came and cleared the leaves from the yard. The wind blew and it looks like the lawn guy was never here.
The heavy winds and frost took a toll on the Heavenly Blue morning glory vine.
The frost shriveled Reggie's morning glories. Time to harvest the seeds for next year.
A skim of ice on the bird bath. Shades of things to come.
Not much rain this week.
The little red squirrel came back for a feast. The blue jay waits for some seeds to spill.
Himself's twig lost all its leaves. It was a twig when Himself found it growing in the front lawn. He transplanted the twig to this location. The twig is a black birch and is now 20 or so feet tall.
How does your garden grow?
We had our first frost this past week too. Hydrangeas have shriveled and most potted plants are all gone. I think it's gotten this cold a little early this year but then again-it is that time of year, isn't it? Enjoy this grey Sunday. Yesterday was nicer than I thought it would be and today isn't as nice as they said. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWeather dudes have a great job. They can get it all wrong and not get fired.
DeleteThe weather dudes down here have a boring job (unless there's a hurricane) there are two sets of weekly forecasts, one for summer and one for winter! LOL ;)
ReplyDeleteIf you remember when you lived up North, we can go through all 4 seasons in a hour :-D
DeleteI remember....don't miss it! ;)
DeleteYour garden is still looking good. My balcony garden looks neglected, shame on me! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI think it only looks good because of the leaf colors
DeleteNo frost yet, but definitely cooler.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean when you said, "The lawn guy came and cleared the leaves from the yard. The wind blew and it looks like the lawn guy was never here."
All the best Jan
that and the fact that the oak trees are slow to lose their leaves. The bulk won't be down until Thanksgiving.
DeleteYou've got frost and ice already????Yikes.
ReplyDeleteGrumbling, I broke out my long pants this week.
I got something in the mail Saturday that I just love! Thank you!
Yeah, frost and ice. A couple of towns even had a dusting of snow earlier in the week. I broke out my wool fingerless gloves :-D I'm so glad you like it.
DeleteNo frost here yet, but chillier. Your "twig" looks so _bare_!
ReplyDeleteThe twig looks very sad. Like a Charlie Brown tree.
DeleteHimself has a gardener's touch! Transplanting a twig and now look how big it is! We had ice in our bird bath too! Your poor morning glories! Big Hugs CJ!
ReplyDeleteSad face about no big, blue morning glories this year.
DeleteYour garden is looking lovely, as always! We haven't had frost here as yet but there has been frost in the South of England. It's definitely cooler although we have had some beautiful sunny autumnal days of late, like today 😀. Wishing you a happy new week! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteIt was a good week.
DeleteWe had a cold front move through and it was colder than ____ here last week. Maybe that's how I got sick. It warmed up after two days, but we also set an all time low for one of the days (sorry, I don't remember which one now, since one day slides into the next lately).
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, your garden looks a lot better than mine, since I haven't been out to see much of it.
This is a tough time of year. It's hard to know how to dress. Warm one minute, freezing the next. I'm glad to see you're on the mend
