flat

My garden is disappearing again. It's time for me to clean it up now that most of the perennial foilage is drying out.

Winter is ahead. Color is fading. The squirrels are particularly fat and abundant, scurrying around among the plants and trees. Sign of a harsh winter, says the neighbors. I try to be optomistic and think that we will be surprised by a mild winter.
