I wish that fall lasted alot longer than it does. it's an odd thing for a gardener to admit, but i feel like it's just a time to enjoy the yard, not necessarily work in it.
plus, there is a bunch of activity. it seems like creatures abound, from squirrels going crazy getting ready for winter, to cats on watch for birds and bunnies in the back yard.
plus, there are the smaller creatures. i bent down to pull a weed and came out with this little furry moth. i think he's the same one i photographed a while ago, that i thought was a bird at first! i wish i could have shown his wingspan, he is a very modern color palette! pink and brown, very very pretty. the thing was, he was afraid and sort of "froze up" and would not let go of my hand! i even brought him inside while i grabbed my camera. I gently sat him down in a flower pot to snap this shot, and noticed he was making a curious little "crying" sound...
then, suddenly, off he went! very neat.
the bees have been here all along, but are REALLY rocking on the sedum plants! yesterday i counted eight of them on one plant! must be good stuff :)
happy weekend all.
