My flowers in September

Quick Fire hydrangea, beautiful all year.
 Black eyed susan vine.  I nursed it all year, finally it is blooming.
 Tall ageratum from Graye's Greenhouse.  I love it.
 Most insane cockscomb
 The one to watch, it is now about fifteen inches across.  It stands up even after wind and downpours.
 Solidago fireworks
bumper crop of Sweet Annie...
 Bulls Blood Beets and you can see turnip greens behind.
and a surprise flower this morning.  A white Iris.  These are some of my favorites.  We had lots of flooding last night .  Our streets do that in heavy rain . One guy went canoeing!  Hope your day is blessed with flowers.

Apple time

We went to Apple Charlie's on Sunday..

They have pony and hay rides , apple picking $20 a bag, farm animals and a flea market. You can walk through and watch them make the cider.   It was a beautiful day and there was a big crowd.

Do you know .. how much is a peck?  We didn't, but I wanted some Mutsus (the big green ones). a peck bag was $5.00.

  We also got Empire, McIntosh, Gala, Delicious for $1 a bag of about 8 or 9.  No bad ones.

Donuts were $10 a dozen and cider $10 a gallon.  At first glance I would think the prices were a
little steep, but when you see how many workers it takes to put on the show, I guess  they have to be.

I only had one donut.  Happy Monday everyone.

Honoring 9/11 victims in Taylor, Michigan


I didn't get to see him at this busy intersection.  I would have like to have said "thank you".
