9-18-14 SHORT HILLS: Basically, there’s not much going on in the garden. It’s only a couple days until the official end of summer, but the signs of the changing seasons are around us. The ash trees, always early to dump their leaves, are showing yellow and purple foliage. The squirrels, acting squirrely, are rushing around with mouths full of acorns. Berries are ripening. Burning bush are hinting at the color to come. Occasional leaves are floating to the ground, and, of course, the days are shortening. A flock of grackles has been working the feeders. The roses continue to bloom, and I’m waiting for a sedum to open.
The weather has been seasonal with warm afternoons and cool nights. We had about a half inch of rain a few evenings ago.
I’ve continued to pull weeds and take the piles to the dump. There seems to be an endless supply to work on.
Practically domesticated animals.
