The garden looks great even if you have lost a few plants. At least you are keeping up with the harvesting even when you're not feeling top-notch.

Pam, it was huge! First time I ever saw one; I didn't even know they existed.

Nice bean harvest. I hope you don't have to have cataracts done someday; I'm hoping not, also. They told me I had a baby cataract starting. Dang it!

So sad about your bowl and your back going out. I had that set for years, and they were my mom's too. I don't know what ever happened to them, hmmm. No more pickles for me this season, I'm pulling all

I love the hydrangea, but you have so many other shrubs to enjoy. I don't have many at all.

Thank you, @mhe

Today, the BnW shots captured my eye the most. It looks cold there already.

I'm so sorry you had to endure another surgery, Jay. I sure hope it is the last one for you. Lovely shots as always, and the sunrise photos are always my favs. Be well.

Wow, that is quite a large event. The balloons are so colorful. I don't think I would enjoy being in such a large crowd, though. Going up in a hot air balloon was one of my most exciting experiences.

I definitely will keep the tubers. I have some shavings I can put them in and keep them in a cool place. I know I will end up looking for more Dahlias this winter. ♥

Thank you so much, @anggreklestari.

Hahaha, too many squashes sounds familiar. lol. I did not know that grasshoppers shed their skin; see, I learned something new today. I picked my first cantaloupe yesterday, and it smells so nice. Have

Hi Neli, here is my entry for this week's free theme. Togetherness.

Well, at least you look happy despite your anxiety and sleepless nights. I sure hope you can break that cycle quickly.

Thanks, Pam. I swear they love eating the zinnia seeds. I have to get some before they are all gone, lol.

I bet you are! It won't be long now, and I will have to cut most of them back for the fall. :-(

Thank you so much for the nice comment. I have heard of sunchokes but have never seen one in person. I hope you get a nice tuber harvest.

Nice to see the grass sprout so quickly. Funny, I mowed my backyard yesterday, but hubby did the sides and front of the house. The cut grass smelled like a drying hayfield after I cut it. Reminded me of

I love that you mentor them.
