I thought they were done for the season, but the strawberries are making a comeback. Blossoms, buds, and even one bright red strawberry have emerged (circled in yellow). I took this picture last night during a break from the heavy rain we got yesterday. Temperatures were cooler, too--in the 60s during the day! I actually had to wear a jacket, and for the first time in months, I wore pants to work (as opposed to a skirt. I don't usually go bottomless ;)) Between the weather and all the school buses on the road, I guess summer really is over.
I love the cooler fall temperatures, maybe we'll be get some soon. My son's first day back at school is today, yipee!
ReplyDeleteI have no regrets about the end of summer, except for not being able to keep the door into the garden open, I love autumn and all that it brings.
ReplyDeleteGood you have a new crop going. The ants always get mine first.
ReplyDeleteI had to take out an extra blanket last night. Feels like summer was shorter this year.
ReplyDeleteYour strawberry plants sound a mite confused. Ours are absolutely finished for this year.
ReplyDeleteYour other comment makes me smile about"wearing pants to work". The saying
"two countries divided by a common language" springs to mind.....
