Mushroom murder!

 Fun story: this is a group of wee, grey toadstools. A nice little line. They like the PH levels under the pine tree. Every single mushroom is knocked over. It's happened before. I called it Mushroom Murder! 


I know who I blame! They left another deposit on the deck! 


Here is proof!


This was 2012. Aster inspecting the fungus on the dead roots. Aster is in gr. 11 and taller than me!



Here is a gnarly tree I found on my forest walk. 


Funny what AI 'hears!' We asked the TV thing to find us a TV show:  "Border Interceptors," a reality show from Ireland, like Border Security. Instead, it brought up an ad for 'bed bug interceptors.' One really has to enunciate!
 

The driveway in all its glory...



Autumn chores, I sprayed painted the purple pencil! It looks so much better. Also, I scraped and repainted my bell.



Last two roses for this year... the frost is on the glass outside. Farewell summer, sleep well gardens. See you on the other side!

The last rose of summer

What on earth are the racoons doing pooping on the porch? A strange statement from a wild animal! But then, why do they knock over all the mushrooms as well? I sure don't understand - unless they were teens giving "trick or treat" the first part of the phrase.

We have many changes at this time. We've had enough winters so we know how to live through them and even enjoy winter.

So sweet, the photo of Aster. The raccoon is wreaking havoc on the mushrooms, haha. The driveway photo is fall perfection!

I will finish putting my garden away today. Sad.
