Looks like the missus will be making some green tomato chutney, chow chow, etc....she picked a whack of tomatoes since the overnight temps are cooling down.

We're closing in on 300 lbs of tomatoes this season.

That's a great harvest Bill

we had a late frost yesterday morning hit after 7am, by 8:30 everything was white looking.4C still , then we frost warning again for last night so I covered a lot of plants up. 3C right now and looking a tad chilly.

Last month I was in a funk. I was depressed that the summer was wasting away and I was not getting in the water enough. In the last few weeks I've been wearing out my snorkel gear. Trying to finish summer with a bang. I think we get our first cold front next week....my kid is already talking about Halloween !! Summer is over !!

I know it. We haven't even gotten into tornado season this fall.

RAINFALL: Through Thursday, Beta is expected to produce rainfall
accumulations of 8 to 12 inches with isolated totals of 20 inches
from the middle Texas coast to southern Louisiana, with 4 to 8
inches spreading northward into the lower Mississippi River Valley
by mid-week. Flash and urban flooding is likely, as well as minor to
isolated moderate river flooding.

We get a 1 inch of rain it seems like a lot, can't imagine 20 inches.

Had a hummer get in a spider web yesterday morning. We tried washing her right wing with Dawn, even put her up on a the feeder. Around an hour later she wasn’t there. We don’t know if she made I or not. Nature takes its own course sometimes.

We view nature as being cruel at times-from the pecking order of flocks to herds, to who what eats who.

Just having a migrational flock of Black birds going through, and having a little rest up in the pines trees around the house. crazy amount of chirping as there were hundreds going through.
I think our Hummingbirds have packed up and left for the year-the Monarchs are thinning out. The Loons aren't rafting yet-and the splashes of colour is starting to show through out the maples now.
Yes fall is creeping in-it's what's behind it I have to prepare.

rook,

Good gesture of yours with the hummingbird. Odds are it came around and made it thanks to your help.

Mornin all!

Ya. there isn't much meat on a hummingbird...

We've been seeing some males again.
A female checked out the fasteners/silver hardware on a bird feeder near me for a minute , looking for a drink hole. It eventually found a hummingbird feeder about fifteen feet away.
Suspecting migrators unfamiliar with the scattered feeders.

Morning RC

Mornin Rook.

Ladyfriend has a daughter in Meridian.
She's established and used to the clime , but it almost bugs me she sticks it out there.
And of late , cultural conditions make her race more an issue than it was. And it was bad enough before that I'd have either got in trouble being white , or left the area back then.
But such go folks to where they choose I guess.

The dang storms at times though . Whew. Just a matter of time before getting slammed.

 

[bill from lachine]

Good morning RC....we get the snow and cold up north. Our southern cousins get hammered by more storms. A matter of choosing your poison.

A very well made video on gardening.

You are white?

What is that like?

Just got back from a scouting mission. They got a frost a couple nights in a row up north of me and the fall color is a-coming on.
