cool & sunny here now, perfect yard weather....
Feels like Fall
same here but very humid overnight, It takes until mid morning for the dew to dry off. Overnight temp tonight predicted to be 47*
Typhoon flattend the garden but no damage to the house, the paintwork will need cleaning though!
The garden will revive,thats whats so great abourt plants
sorry to hear that! hopefully you did not lose any trees!
Glad to hear house and you are fine. Like you say garden will regrow and hopefully be better than ever.
That's good there was no serious damage, but it is dismaying to see plants you love get flattened.
Wow - good luck, pj!
Garden easier to replace than house. Glad to hear everything ok! ☺
Thankful no damage to your house, Paj.
Glad to hear you're ok, Paj.
Hey thanks all! I've got an excuse now for a spot of redesigning, he he!
Positive thinking, inspired by you guys.
pj
I am so compulsive I'd be redesigning anyway.
The winters are far too long here.
You have that right JoAnn.
yep
Think positively! Spring is only 9 mos away! (assuming spring will start June of next year...).
It's in the 50's here, I think that's kind of cool for Aug 31st...
LOL We did get an early spring this year which was a good thing cause summer was a looong wait to happen then in a blink of an eye...september. wow
spring here,is when the heavy snow melts and the tulips peek up.
BTW thats March
boy am I in denial or what, I wrote Aug 31st and in big letters right next to my post it says Sept 1st...you guys were very nice & polite not to correct me lol
Wait for our mistakes later on
I don't think anyone noticed.
September where?
You know fall is coming when the corn stalks are cut down in the fields. I drove by one tonight, totally cut down already.
I'm not ready!
Another notch in the timeline Jen. Hope the cold snow season goes as fast as this summer did. It always seems to last waaaay longer though. To put it in perspective my dentist helped a little today, next appointment...March. When I return from that I can be cleaning up for the coming gardening season. Time marches on. :)

They are making silage out of corn at this time of year.
Silage is what they feed cattle.
Corn goes thru a chipper and is blown into thost tall cylander things at the side of barns.
Thats the way they did it years ago, maybe now its stored somewhere else.
I had to check my thermometer before daylight...it's 48 degrees.
ge I always wondered what those were for!
There is nothing like the smell of fermented silage.
There must be cattle in them thar hills!
started fall clean-up yesterday - seems early for it - cut down all the spent echi's, liatris, and daisy "like" flowers in the front yard - today it will be the backyard's turn.
Thats a job I will do today.
Its hard to see the area flat like mid winter.
Does anyone cut back Ligularias?
ge - that's why I like mixed beds so the winter version isn't so depressing to look at!
joann only in the final fall rake up just like hosta and day lily's
Thanks Bill I was sure no one would respond.
It doesn't smell like fall yet---that overripe perfume of grapes, sumac, and leaf mold---it still smells like summer here. But the blueberries are gone, & apples are coming in----I planted mums today. I try to think of pleasant fall things, & hold back the coming winter.
it was 88 today, a 30 degree difference from morning
The mums respond to cool nights and warm days.
It will be a week before all mine are out.
Someone say Apples?
