September, Spiders and Stuff
Everything is blooming well in the yard. I can’t believe it is already September! Wow. This early part of September we are starting to see the change in the seasons as the days are hot but the nights are really cool. The front yard where we planted new seeds and plants has filled in really well. We also have a lot of insect life! Here are a few photos from around the yard.
I thought this zinnia was cool how it grew to a double decker
This spider was HUGE! And so strange looking. Click to see a larger view
Nice pink zinnia
Another flower from the front with bugs mating I think
This is a really black one-legged grasshopper on my basil! He was soon hereafter chicken food.

The flowers look beautiful! It’s easy to forget how much you look forward to them when you have blooming stuff all the time. I used to check my tulips and daffodils every day for a month before they would bloom and then they’d be over. Then the perennials would come. Then veggies. That last fall push of blooms is spectacular but then you know what’s next…winter! (but you get fall colors first- no fall colors here)

We are getting prepared to not have them here soon..lol. Fall is definitely upon us. I am looking forward to the crunchy leaves and fall colors. I just wish that winter didn’t last as long as it does here.
