Around the House

We missed the patchy frost this week so the zinnias are still blooming,
and I collected a whole jar full of seeds for next year.  
 The marigolds are also still looking cheery, but the touch-me-nots are done.  They will reseed themselves.
 What you can't tell from this picture is that Caedmon just peed on the basil which is still hanging-on along with the oregano and thyme.  Maybe there won't be one more batch of pesto for the freezer.
 He's a little sprite sometimes!  Like a good little yard sprite, he likes to play with the flowers, (Thank goodness for zinnias and marigolds that can keep up with my boys' flower demands!) and a line of flowers is good for. . .
 dancing around!
 Creepy crawlies are still out.
 The garden is at its close,
 and Cademon and I picked the last of the tomatoes this week.
 Summery flowers and fallish pumpkins
 Bangers and mash (with caramelized onions and crunchy sauerkraut) for dinner
