After very little rain all summer, the first good rainfalls of autumn are so very welcome!

Is threatening to fall
Don't stand in the way
Come inside, close the door
The sky will clear again
After the rain"

Only my 'Tommy Toe' cherry tomatoes ripened this year. My large varieties were so late they're still green 💚

The asparagus clump in my garden is making me worried. I suspect it will mutate into something wicked one dark night

This part of the asparagus clump has too many male plants, they grow the red berries that drop and spread so many unwanted plants.

Finally got some delicious rain, a steady mist all day long transformed the mutant asparagus bush into a glistening beauty covered in diamonds.

Israel dragging the USA into a war, Trump's obedience is telling

this shoot was on Trump's 727 in January 2000 issue of British GQ magazine. The Trumps surely do have little class. Not sure Melania is known for her intelligence either, but as for her chairing the UN, well, that surprises even me.

The boys thought it was Christmas, and they were Sandy Paws.

Happiness is to feel the wind in your schnauz and no place to be.

The purple tendrils rise above the round body of a globe artichoke. There is a European honey bee flying in to land on it on the top right corner.

Purple skinned European plums that are nearly ripe enough to pick. There is a nice beam of sunlight shining on some of the green leaves around one bunch of plums.

Meet Rodney.
Rodney and his rowdy rainbow retinue return regularly to ruin my ripe Reine plums.
I've decided to allow them to eat the small plums as long as I can save the big European Plums close enough to being ripe.
