Things are still blooming!

 The doe has been busy. She chomped on one Hosta, leaving me another! For now. 



My new plants. Cross your fingers for me! 



The horse chestnuts are nearly ready.



Soon we'll say farewell to our critters.

I told one of our grandies I hadn't been swimming all summer. She was shocked! 


 I suppose it is better late than never. I found some seed packages from a couple of years ago. 


And fun news. Jo decided to get himself a nose ring. He was babysitting, but asked for a Facetime video afterwards. I dressed for the reveal! His is real. Mine is a split ring I found in a drawer. They laughed with me!

That was a long haul, up at 6 a.m. Sunday to prepare the coffee, and Hydro working on our poles from 7 a.m. until noon! More on that later.

What a hoot!..as a gran you take the prize...or the gold ring, should I say? I always want to know how people blow their nose when they have a nose ring.

The last dregs of summer... Autumn is biting in fast here, but the days are throwing up some delightful warmth in the central hours... YAM xx

I'm surprised your hostas aren't long gone. In my area they're deer favorites.

There are still blooming idiots amongst us too. But none of my blogger buds are that.

Chestnut looks like a mini pumpkin on a tree. The rings look lovely. Linda in Kansas

This warm weather will keep the flowers around for a while.

Love those blooms. Smiling at the nose ring.

They do love hostas, don't they? Mine are -- well, decimated! The nose ring pics are funny. I've only been in the water twice -- and I mean "in the water," not swimming. I got wet and out. Lots of good reasons this year but still, sad.

You have some lovely blooms, keeping fingers crossed for you. I enjoyed the doe video very much. Her ears were twitching and turning. She was very aware of her surroundings. The nose ring you shared with Jo gave me a real chuckle. You are great at being a fun grandmom who knows how to keep her grands smiling.

the nose ring looks very realistic.

I hear deer are hard to keep away from plants, and the hosta seems to have been a real treat. I'll leave piercings to others lol, but it is interesting to see how many different kinds of piercings there are these days.
