My Wednesday Walk is around the yard to check out how the last remaining flowers are doing.
After the Corn Full Moon last night, there’s a heavy dew and a coolness in the air that wasn’t here a few days ago as August closes and The Lady of September starts to prepare the Northern Hempishere to welcome Autumn.
The vivid orange color of the sturdy coneheads always catch my eye and I’m happy they are still in bloom.
It’s been a dry summer and most lawns are looking brown. Instead of grass, lots of wild flowers are popping up and they are great food for the bees and butterflies.
As the morning sun became stronger, quite a few white butterflies, with one black dot on each wing, commonly called a small white or cabbage butterfly, were fluttering around the lawn enjoying the wild flowers.
The Grandmother’s flowers (Mallow) are still blooming. I’ve told the story before of how this was a plant I brought back from my grandmother’s old homestead and it has faithfully multiplied and bloomed every summer.
Nature is truly amazing and even without the rain needed to keep everything lush in the garden and lawn, wild flowers and so called weeds are popping up, adding lovely color and the insects can get nectar from them.
Perhaps it’s because of the full moon that the air, the energy and the temperature feels different today. The night was cooler and a lovely sunny start to the day.
Last night’s full moon was not called the Harvest Moon but the Corn Moon.
This year, September's full moon is not the Harvest Moon, which is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox (which is Sept. 22). This year, you'll have to wait until Oct. 1 for the Harvest Moon.” source
Whether Corn or Harvest Moon, I don’t have much to harvest but a nice crop of tomatoes which I picked and let them ripen inside this week.
A Daddy-Long-Legs spider rests on the empty tomato vine.
And with Daddy Long legs I will end my #wednesdaywalk hosted by
