Haunted yard 2021

 Reggie sure isn't bothered by the spooks residing in our front yard this year!

He just continues his naps undisturbed!

Humor among the hostas!

 

I am working with sorting pictures taken this summer and ran across this bit of smiles I found on a Hosta Garden Tour this summer!  

Mums the word this week......

 My new favorite color mum!

I always pick the golden colors.....but this one really caught my eye this year.  Striking to the eye with our house color....bright and I will be looking again for it next year for sure!

Shade Gardens can be colorful!

 

Last week I was waiting for Denny to pick me up from an Apt. at our Mayo Clinic and I took time to take a picture at one of their shade garden beds!  It was a long bed under trees between the building and sidewalk and was so calming and relaxing yet colorful!  Lots of textures plus bright and soft colors.

Fall Gnome

 Adorable ain't he?     Built on a tomato cage!  

Grandfather's Whiskers at sunset

 A friend, Phyllis, calls this tall grass "Grandfather's Whisker's"!

Denny was driving to a friends home a few days ago when the sun was beginning to set and he spotted this view.  He couldn't resist stopping the car to snag this picture!  

I just felt a need to share this peaceful view with you this fall season!

Fish Sun Flower Fields 2021

 At last the nearest 2021 MN Fish Sun Flower Field is open in Albert Lea, MN!  We took a quick visit Saturday with a neighbor and enjoyed every minute there again this year.   The fields are only open for 10 days and with short notice as soon as they peak with the bloom time!  This was the last field  and 10th field planted this year opened last.  

We are trying to get a car pool to there for our Rochester Garden & Flower Club this week but having problems getting email notices out!  Darn!  The person who handles those emails is out of town this week it seems!

I understand these fields are growing in popularity in other areas of this country now!  They are planted in memory of different people in your lives.  One of these in Albert Lea is to recognize veterans!
