Winding Down

Today’s overcast skies fit the somber mood as Queen Elizabeth’s hearse made its way through the countryside of Scotland to Edinburgh for the night, along with remembrances of 9/11 in the US. Hard to believe 21 years have passed since that horrific day because emotions are still raw • Here’s a shot of one corner of our veggie garden. It’s looking rather empty because we’re winding down this growing season with many plants already pulled. I also wanted to show the decimated scarlet runner bean towers. Once a lush jungle of green leaves and bean pods, with generous sprinkles of red flowers, until the deer started noticing. And started nibbling. And nibbling. Now it looks like a topiary with a skirt of tangled naked vines underneath. What a sad sight! Our fingers are crossed there isn’t a dear deer named Kareem Abdul-Jabbar due to stop by :) • A Happy and Peaceful Sunday to you all!
