natterish, mostly garden
Sep. 30th, 2014 08:06 amThere was a FCB concert Sunday afternoon and rehearsal (new music!) on Monday, which meant that I really couldn't do any work in the garden either day. So of course the weather was gorgeous Sat/Sun/Mon, and it's rainy and 15 deg cooler today. It is supposed to be drier tomorrow, so I guess the garden will wait until then. Which is probably a good idea anyway, as my hand is still a bit sore. And the cat won't want to go outside today, so I might be able to get some work done in the workroom (assuming the other cat doesn't decide to "help").
The forsythia is being temporally challenged -- it's flowering(!), and the leaves are turning purple. It's a lovely color combination, especially with the green, but it is a little odd. There are a few flowers on the rose bush too. The blackberry lilies are in their seedpod stage, so I need to cut them down pretty soon -- they spread fast enough by roots, I don't need them seeding! Last week I moved some plants around -- I had put a new columbine in the front flowerbed this spring, and by the end of the summer it was bigger and healthier than the one that's been in the side garden for years. So I swapped the old columbine with a daisy in the front bed. I figured it couldn't hurt.
I think the hummingbirds are gone (haven't seen any in about a week), so I should probably take the feeders down.
Yesterday's frog count was 8 with a blur apparently originating from a frog-sized wet spot on a rock.
