Lost opportunities; new changes
Well, I haven't posted much here this summer. Vacation in Wyoming and blowing out my knee took a couple months out of summer at the lake.
We still had to show up once in October to close things down. The signs of fall were all around us.
The hostas looked like they had laid down for a long winter's nap.
The last of the coneflowers (Echinacea) looked pretty bedraggled.
The little oak volunteer turned a great shade of red.
A brave?/foolish? clover flower hid out in a protected corner of one of Larry's beds.
A few salvia blossoms hung on to bare branches long after the hummers had gone.
All the aluminum "stuff" along the shore appears to have retreated from the water. Good thing there's no tide on the lake.
And the crew from LSU piled the rusty deck chairs on the lakeside deck. Do they need such treatment any more? It's more likely they could use a wire brush and some rustproof paint. Next summer?
Hope to see things in April.
