The rain is really perking the garden up, the grass is the greenest it's been all year 🌱

I've just decluttered my bedroom, I have a ridiculous amount of hair clips and bobbles, so why can I never find any 😆
They've all been herded into one dish!

Green grass and shrubs with odd cosmos and nasturtiums

Shore Larks shuffle into today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight! ❄️

These Arctic visitors, with their distinctive yellow faces and black ‘horns,’ brighten up coastal dunes and saltmarshes on winter days.

An exciting spot along our shores!

The Hoya gracilis in the basement is blooming again. It smells like caramel or butterscotch. It has barely grown over the last year. I don't know what its problem is, but at least it's not dying...yet. 🌱🪴

My hand holds an inflorescence that looks like a little exploding firework covered in a few dozen maroon, star shaped flowers. In the background are some lanceolate leaves with faint silver splash.

Every so often one of my little calamondin trees produces so much fruit I can hardly believe it.
And when life gives you calamondins, you make marmalade 🍊
(This is about 1.5kg of gorgeousness!)

Less than a year ago I rescued these, which were considerably smaller and dessicated, from a burn pile. Look how happy and huge they are. 🌱

A planter full of 5 very large, 4 medium, and a few small succulents that resemble rosettes. They are a pleasing greyish green. The plants look happy and lush.

#SixOnSaturday vegetable edition 🌱
I'm grateful for the extended growing season since the peppers didn't start producing until September due to an overly hot summer here in the northern midwest zone 6.

#SixOnSaturday October blooms, bees, butterflies 🌱
It's odd but lovely to see active pollinators and so many blooms in mid October here in the northern midwest zone 6.

I love the frothy exuberance of 1974's 'Navy Strut'. Here it is glowing in the sunshine,making a lovely contrast with the yellow variety behind it.

BlueSky fam! Check out this colourful garden dahlia flower that I saw Today while Walking Around My Local Park Captured on a Canon EOS R50

The picture shows a close-up of a single yellow flower with multiple petals surrounding a bright orange center. The flower is surrounded by dark green, slightly glossy leaves with a textured surface. The background is blurred, highlighting the flower and leaves, and appears to be a natural outdoor setting with earthy tones.

The fruits of tonight's mad dash harvest of the feral garden to get as much picked before the cold snap starts signaling to the plants to slow down. I think we have some work to do. 🌱#gardening #oklahoma #okwx
