I would love to show pictures of my yard, but I am not downloading any more until a new computer arrives (the old one is extremely full, basically no memory left). Besides it is an old computer so, time for an upgrade. This one only has 18 GB memory (12 is pictures). The new ones have lots and lots of memory compared to this one.

But, I just made the walkabout and have 36 different daylilies still blooming, the Stargazer lilies and one late flower on Royal Sunset, sedums are in their glory and the raccoons found my corn. The live trap is now set up and waiting until tonight. Hopefully....

The cucumbers are still going, cranberries, plums, dolga apples, grapes and chokecherries are ready, the second flush of strawberries are going, acorn and hubbard squash we are starting to pick, and beans should be ready this week for the first picking. I, on purpose, planted the beans the last week in June so that they would be ready at the end of August (when I had more time).

I am in the process of cleaning out the greenhouse because for our 25th wedding anniversary present my DH is getting outdoor speakers installed in the sunroom and on the greenhouse. Then I can listen to music when working in the flowerbeds if I wish. That is one advantage to living in the country... I can play it as loud as I wish to. The greenhouse needs to be cleaned so that the wires can be attached where ever the guy wants them to go. Good reason to do a throrough cleaning.

Enjoyed everyone's pictures this summer!

It has been a very, very enjoyable summer, being at home, but it is soon to come to a end since my daughter is back to university next week which in turns means that I am back into the office (she had my job for the summer).

Those are some COOL photos Laurie, I really like the bee butt, soooo cute!!!! LOL

It's been raining all day long, hopefully I can get some photos in this week's thread soon.

What a great idea Brenda to put speakers in the gh!

Sharon

Fantastic pictures Laurie!

Ahh, yeah, speakers in a greenhouse -- great idea!

My garden is still very colourful with sunflowers, hollyhocks, nigella, and a few other things still going strong. And, yup, leaves are a changing and falling and being raked up by the youngest kiddo!

The only really new thing for me in the garden is that the asters are in full glory right now.
