I had rather be on my farm than be emperor of the world. ~George Washington

A lovely September afternoon:

What’s blooming in September:

A closer look at that aster:

What kind of bug is that?

The lovely Winsome miniature rose:

Pink (Are we noticing a pattern here?) Phlox:

The blue jays are lovin’ the acorns:

How is September lookin’ at your place?

A Walk in the Garden

Discoveries in the Garden

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks. ~John Muir

It is always good to slow down and take a walk once in a while.  It refreshes body and soul and one never knows what one might discover.

A nest in the apple tree:

A crab spider hiding out in the phlox (she is so clever with her camouflage):

And a pine beetle:

Oh yes, he is alive!

I think the dent in the beetle’s wing casing was caused by an adventurous kitten.

She only looks innocent!

 What discoveries have you made on your walks?
