Second Quarter Waxing Moon in Aquarius
Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron, Uranus, Mercury Retrograde
Celtic Tree Month of Ivy
Cloudy and mild
We still haven’t had our first frost yet, and might not get it until November, which is late for around here. I wonder if that portends a milder winter, or, when winter finally smacks us, a harsher one?
The Christmas cacti on the front porch are about to burst into bloom. That will be very pretty.
Inside the house, I’m keeping a vase of cut, dark red mums.
The tree outside my bedroom window is turning yellow and the leaves are dropping. I’m not sure what kind of tree it is, sort of an oval leaf. I really need to get a book on the local flora and fauna.
Fingers crossed the weather holds on Saturday. The local Mass Audubon chapter is doing a walk through The Spruces, and I’d like to go and learn about it.
What’s new in your gardening neck of the woods?

We just ate the last of the garden tomatoes for dinner tonight. Leaves haven’t started to turn color as yet, but they are thinning out. We will hit 80 tomorrow, then go back to more fall seasonal temps after that.

We’re in the 60’s and 70’s, still warm for this time of year here, I’m told. I hope the weather holds so I can go to the lake this afternoon.
