Shhhhh…Don’t tell my Garden that it’s the middle of October!!!

Tootsie, please don’t breathe a word of this….it’s the middle of October…and I have…are you ready???? Ripe Strawberries!!!

Aren’t they beautiful…

I feel like the mother of new triplets!!!

There are more hoping to ripen, but we have no sunshine this week…

One lonely Hydrangea bloom, not perfection…survivor…

My husband has decided that Black-eyed Susan vines are invasive…wow what a wonderful invasive…for some unknown reason these don’t have the “black eyes”…

These are in my weedy little garden…

The Black-eyed Susans intermingled with my potato vine…

Rainwater fills the birdbath…

The birds are gone…

Raindrops on the Nandina leaves…

Does anyone know what this little bush is???  If it’s a weed…break it to me gently!!! It has gorgeous berries…

Wouldn’t it be a shame if it was a weed???

            I may have pruned my rose bush a little early…since it’s putting on new growth…

…and a few “hopeful” buds…

The sweet Basil is still going…and going…and going…

Visit Tootsie for more blooms…
