9-9-13 SHORT HILLS: The weather has become autumnal for the past few days, in the fifties at night. It has been dry, and I’m running the sprinklers again.
Judy and I have both done some weeding, but there are plenty of weeds to go. A large branch of our elm tree drooped over the summer and was hanging inside the pool fence. It wasn’t dead. The leaves stayed green and alive. I pruned a lot of the foliage, shortening each branch and taking about six feet off so that it no longer reached the ground. With the weight reduction, the branch bounced up a little and seems stable.
In bloom: I forgot to mention last post—hosta, clematis.
This Clematis is a volunteer and, probably, an example of the native vine.
