Making the rounds

on a sunny day.

Lola and Clyde spend more and more time with us and away from the pond.

I have re-discovered Zinnia "Country Fair".

Sandhill Cranes have joined our menagerie.

Guests have left.

Mother duck is teaching all eight ducklings how to dive for food.

Even a few little flowers make a statement.

Pasha divides his time between inside and outside.

Lucy still pulls her own carrots.  

Need to make a note to plant Zinnias again next year.  

Lacinato Kale is the most nutritious of the Kale family.  No wonder it's the preferred kale in Italian kitchens. 

My Lake Maggiore asters, seeds collected more than forty years ago, need to ripen so that I can plant them again next year. 

Letting hollyhock seeds ripen to share with friends. 

Leaving a few grapes on the vines to make them extra sweet.

It's harvest time...don't know what to tackle first.

The Labor Day Sale and Artist Studio Tour was a rousing success.

I sold some of my favorite pieces. 

What are you up to these days?
