I was flipping through the channels on the television before I headed off to bed last night when I noticed a frost warning on the local weather station. Seems a bit early to have frost, especially now that my tomatoes seem to be producing more than they did this summer.

A stray fell into the tomato barrel and produced a lovely blue “weed.”

Last spring I planted cannis roots with the thought that the hummingbirds would discover the flowers. As the season progressed, I began to think that that this wouldn't happen.

Next year’s plan: Weed or plant, if I didn’t put it there, it’s not staying.

It is reaching for the stars, in a year when bunnies are eating the lovely ground flowers we usually have.

I really love bumblebees. My co-worker, Anne, says that as a child she wanted to pet them.

Before long it was climbing up and attaching itself to my trellis of ivy and clematis!

So worth the wait, if only to last a day or two!!
