That is the cutest picture of Fred the Frog I have ever seen. Just precious. Love it. A teeny, tiny frog taking in the sunshine on a seed pod.
This was a gorgeous day in Vermont today, and I got a lot of outside chores done---including weed-whacking parts of my property, and planting 4 more seedlings in the seedling bed where I am getting very short of space. 3 entire days without rain and delightfully warm around 78 degrees at my mountain home. But this afternoon when I walked out on my back deck, this is what awaited me.
The reality hit me smack in the face. One of our native Sugarbush's (Maple trees) announcing that Fall was fast approaching. It must have been those several 40 degree nights we had a few days ago that turned these trees from green to orange. I am never ready to see Summer depart.
I do have some new blooms that opened this morning.and of course some reblooms.
