Another fast summer. Why can't winter go that fast?
Pine straw is starting to fall. That is always nice because that is free mulch, but does require a lot of raking. I have two big pine islands with 15 pine trees.
The mums are blooming all over right now and I must have close to 200 of them, so quite the display of yellow to red shades all over the yard. In addition, the sedum have all those red heads. The asters are also in bloom now with the blues. Also, some kind of a wild daisy is blooming all over. These plants have hundreds of really small white flowers, but in masses so it is quite a thing to see.
The goldenrods have finished which is good because that means I don't have to be as careful now since the stingers that inhabit these when in bloom are also gone. Anything that can sting you is all over those. The sedum are still red, but when they first turn, they too are covered with little stingers.
The honeylocusts are starting to turn yellow now.
