Fall is about six weeks away.  The temperatures are high but not as unbelievable high as they were a few weeks ago.  I even saw two flocks of small blackbirds.  They usually come through the area two times a year–fall and spring.

There was the feeling summer was going to turn into fall.  I was enjoying the lower temperatures although I knew they would go up again.

Anyway, there was the distinct feeling summer was winding down.  I picked my first cherry tomato yesterday.  Summer was on its way out.

I am wondering whether our black-eyed susans are going to come up.  I wanted them along the wooden picket fence bordering the road.  My wife planted seeds last Fall along this border which is over one hundred feet long.  We will see.  I thought they would accent the fence nicely.

I love black-eyes susans.  They keep spreading in our yard.  My wife also helps them along.  The blooms last for many weeks.  I have been helping my wife in the garden more because she physically can’t do the same work there she used to be able.  She has a bad back and pays for everything.

Last year we had several cherry tomato plants in large pots.  I love snacking on them.  Before we know it the winter will be over and it will be spring my favorite season.  Everything comes alive again.  And spring always come after winter which I just endure.  I don’t like cold weather.  And makes anticipating spring that much sweeter.
