In the front yard, these newly planted mums are a preview of fall collors due soon.
My carpool buddy gave me a half dozen black-eyed susans from plants that he thinned in his garden this spring. Now they are blooming profusely in my yard, too.
The rabbits are still around, but the vegetables are secured behind a fence. I photographed this one eating tall grass in the strawberry bed. They seem to dislike the strawberries, which are now filling in the bed after a few days of good rain.
Late August harvests have been good, helped by five inches of rain in the last week. New bean plants have sprouted, as well as lettuce. Flowers are finally blooming from the seedlings I started in the house last winter. The raspberries are already setting their fall fruit.
