September Blooms of Note

 


Dahlias and sunflowers make a nice combination of color.



Above and below is the volunteer plant that I moved to this bed last year.


It was an unknown quantity to me but now with it flowering it's definitely a black cohosh plant.




It probably would have bloomed sooner if it was in full sun but its blooms are welcome in September. They have a slight pleasing fragrance.



This plant is right next to the cohosh and is an unknown.


These must be buds or even flowers.  Anyone have a name for this one?

Puzzle Time

I took two puzzles on our family vacation last month.  We finished one that featured a fire station and I left it at the rental house for someone else to complete.

We started this one but didn't get much beyond the border and one section.  I carefully returned it to the box and granddaughter #1 who excels at puzzles helped put it back to the point we gotten to.  Since then I've been slowly working on it.



It's a cool/cold weather activity and guess what?  Weather is showing that tendency now.
