Where is the summer going?

Bee Balm

I can’t believe we’re well into the first week of August already! We have a big adventure planned for this fall and the list of things to be completed before October first is a bit overwhelming. More about that later. In the meantime we’re making progress with the wood. My sister was here this past weekend and she helped us get everything that was split all stacked. So the process of cutting, splitting and stacking can begin again.Wood progress.

Remember how behind I’ve been on my weeding, well I’m not quite caught up but I did get my winter squash finally weeded. Sure feels good. My plants are not huge but they are covered with flowers!Weeded squash patch!

Also encouraging to see the tiny Brussels sprouts coming along.Brussels sprouts

Blueberries are in abundance this year! Even our late bearing bushes are just covered!Blueberries

Wishing my tomatoes would turn red. I’ve picked a few cherry tomatoes but there are lots more to come.Green tomatoes

The zucchini and yellow squash are finally coming in.Yellow squash

Signs of fall are everywhere. There are pods on the milkweed.Milkweed pods

Golden rod is in full bloom.Goldenrod

The purple bee balm is blooming everywhere. The hummingbirds just love it!Bee Balm

I love summer and I love fall. Just wish summer wasn’t so short here in Vermont. Not too many more days to cool off in the stream!Our little stream.

  2. Lovely photos! We have a ways to go here in Missouri until cooler weather sets in, but I’ve started making preparations for the fall regardless. Your garden is looking lovely…mine’s being eaten alive by weeds!

    1. Monica,
      I’ve had a battle with the weeds this year. We were away for ten days in June and they got ahead of me! Been fighting them every since!

  4. We haven’t really had much summer at all for the most part it’s been cool and wet, everything in my garden is behind. We have however got the wood that’s cut stacked more to cut but that will come. Yes I like to get prepared but still waiting for summer
