The Last Walk of August

The weather has moderated!  It's moderated to such an extent that I am wearing a sweater outside in the morning and evening now. 

The last walk of August feels like fall.

The temperature is cooler and there was fog and dew in the morning.

Plus ripe blackberries = fall! 

And so do Rosehips.

My sister has a lovely patch down in her Dahlia Garden. 

Someone has been eating the Osier Dogwood berries.

The Snowberries do not appear to be anyone's favorite.

They hang on uneaten until late winter when the critters get desperate for food sources. 

One last pretty Rosehip photo.

And now let's go see what's been happening up at the house.  

We've had Worker Bees and their equipment around for a couple of weeks now.

Parvati always checks out anything that is 'new'.

Notice the bricks? 

Well I received this lovely potting bench last Christmas and did not want it sitting outside in the weeds and dirt... 

So we had a brick and concrete extension added to the end of the shop.
Now I can putter away to my heart's content. The picnic bench to the left is a 'heirloom'. It belong to Howard and Dorothy McBeth who originally owned the property we now live on.   

Another set of Worker Bees is getting the front yard prepped.  When they have it put to rights, they will install the deer fence.  Then the irrigation will go in next, and finally the lawn.  Big changes!
