Burnt Sienna
Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 7:37AM Fall color week on Elsie Marley. Pretty sure there's some Burnt Sienna in all the reddish-brownish-orangey goodness of this flower.

Brick Red
Monday, September 21, 2009 at 11:57AM Brick Red for Fall Color Week on Elsie Marley. This is a Doily Stretcher I picked up for $3 at a garage sale in Shawano, Wisconsin. I have no idea how it was used, but I love it's graphic beauty.

Odd Fall Blooms
Wednesday, September 16, 2009 at 9:26AM Not what I usually see in the garden in mid-September:
A single orange rose. I bought this vine in May and didn't expect any blooms this year. And the package said pink. However, orange is my favorite color (okay, tied with green) so I love it. Except it's in the "cool" garden with purples, blues and pinks. I do love contrast, though ...
Unknown purple flowers growing in the lawn. I think they're wild geraniums. Pleasant surprise because I usually only see flowers in the lawn in spring (other than dandelions, of course)
Pincushions, usually only seen in spring.
Forget-me-nots, planted in the vegetable garden two years ago, keep popping up.
Jalapeño plant appears to want to provide one more harvest - let's hope the frost stays away long enough!
Could it be ... sunflowers!?! In mid-September? Oh, I hope, I hope they bloom before it gets too cold!!

Late Summer Garden
Saturday, August 29, 2009 at 9:46AM 
And, I'm back! I hope to come back to this space a couple times a week now that I have my other blog moving along nicely.
Late summer harvest from the garden - gazillions of tomatoes this year (yay!!), tomatillos (which grow like weeds in my yard and garden) and jalapeños. Will be making salsa shortly. And bruschetta (with store-bought basil, as both garden shops I went to were sold out by the time I planted last spring).
Ladybug found in garden and put in an unenclosed "kid-made" habitat. Ladybug has since moved on to other habitats :)
Growing pumpkin.
White pumpkin! Still growing. We picked a white pumpkin from a pumpkin farm and saved the seeds. We planted the seeds in spring and here we have our first home-grown white pumpkin! Didn't work with the blue Belgian pumpkin, but there's always next year!
