What a delightful weekend it was.  Our guest in the garden was here.  He got a new collar (fancy padding on the inside even 😍).

We spent a lot of time just relaxing, watching the young chickadees and cardinals.  The monarchs are coming through, and the hummingbirds too.  There were also quite a few dragonflies.

The bees are all over the ‘Chocolate Drop’ sedum (out front) now,

and the daylily (and hosta) seed pods are starting to dry.  A  few early daylily seeds were added to envelopes again this weekend.

Yesterday cleared up just in time to give a beautiful sunset.

We expected it would be rainy and today did not disappoint the predictions.  The linden was shedding early leaf turns all weekend, and the rain is assisting.

It’s transitioning into fall.
