Kamala Harris

 The next President of the United States of America. 


I watched the Democratic Convention every night until the end. It was moving, inspiring, and worth getting to know Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. 

And quoting Oprah “Vote for common sense, not nonsense”!

Join me in supporting the Harris Walz team!

What's Blooming

 
I took a walk around the yard this morning.






Below is the Hosta Garden




The Maple Garden







By my mailbox I planted a dahlia this year.


On the front porch the geranium has recovered from the neglect it experienced while we were traveling.


Blooms to come on sedum


and this monster of a plant - name escapes me.



Finally being away and then being occupied with company the weeds are enjoying the sun and rain too. Here the crabgrass has overpowered the Deck Garden.


I'm headed out shortly to tackle weeds and make some plant moves.
A gardener's job is never done.

Fall Colors?


This tree started coloring up in mid July. 
Noticed these red leaves this week. 


And more trees around showing the orange, yellow and red. The one below we spotted in Vermont on a canopy walk at VINS where we took family on Saturday.

Taking a Break

 Be back before too long to post and read your blogs.

Family here from Buffalo and life is crazy.
