How Does Your Garden Grow?

Waxing Gibbous Moon and cloud

Sunset the night before the Nor'easter. I thought because of the saying Red sky in the morning sailor take warning. Red sky at night, sailor's delight, this storm would fizzle out. 

Gusty winds blowing the Fall decorations didn't bother the goldfinch having a snack at the feeder. It's 4 pm Saturday as I write this. The storm was supposed to be furious at this hour. It isn't. I am not complaining. I wish the weather dudes wouldn't hype the storms.

This is what greeted me when I got home from the runaway trip with Teague. Himself thought we needed to mark our anniversary even though we had said we weren't going to get anything.

On the sunflower. Is it a new flower? A petal that fell. I looks a little like a bubble.

The phone took a picture all by itself. 

Not from my yard, but through the windshield driving home.

Short and sweet this week. A fairy circle of pink clover.

I caught the Goldfinch yellow-winged eating the petals of the sunflower.

I was going to take more pictures of Himself's farm but as I walked out back, there were a ton of small bees buzzing close to the ground. I think there must be a ground nest close by. I'm allergic to bee sting so didn't want to test out the new epi pen the allergy specialist ordered for me.
