The fall migration is in full swing
These are nearly gone now
I keep finding these in the washing machine. I gather them when I am outside....stick them in my pocket...
and forget them.
Every time.
and forget them.
Every time.
This is not just welcome now
It is plumb necessary
Hmmm ... I haven't seen any of those ducks on this side of the river. Must be a rare species. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your pics! Elizabeth liked your duckies the best. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this section, but was wondering what the beans are? Are they scarlett runner beans?
ReplyDeleteYears ago my Great Aunt raised a bean she called Robin's Egg beans, she died before I could get some to start my own from. I have been looking for them ever since.
Love your photos!

That migration picture made me laugh out loud!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about burning wood: it triggers some deep-down pavlovian response in my mind, its a natural mood lifter. But also life and death come winter north of the Mason Dixon line.
ReplyDeleteAkagaga, I was surprised to see them out there, I'll tell you...first time I have ever had ducks on the garden pond!
ReplyDeleteDani, I'm glad she liked them, thanks....they are still out there just for shock value, although they need to return to their perch on the side of the bathtub soon
Linda, they are indeed scarlet runners..I have never heard of robin's egg beans, but I would love to see them. I hope you are able to find some seeds!
FC, they are quite large and the flowers are so colorful. It isn't really cold by the thermometer here, but it is wet and raw and miserable. I already miss summer
Matt, as you can see, it is there in living color...will gladly share some bean seeds, I saved lots. Although, of course, a number of them did in fact go through the washer. lol Love you'
Islagringo, I'm glad...thanks
Robert, you are sure right about burning wood. It is a terrible lot of work to heat a house this size with wood, but there is a tremendous satisfaction in it. Warmth sure is a basic survival essential here this time of year though. Sometimes you can't pile on enough clothes no matter what you do...
That's funny about the scarlet runner beans, we grew some last year and they kept finding their way into the washing machine too, along with the usual pocket change and earplugs.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of the leaf clinging to the cockle burr!
Aussie O, thanks....
ReplyDeleteYour photos make me miss country living. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI like your new header, too!
Them's some ducks! They look like a Texan species (the bandanas gives them away).
Mrs. M, thanks...I'll bet you are right about those ducks!
