photos taken September 23rd 2023 of purple asters and crab apples.

This week the weather has been lovely, not too hot and not too cold.  Though lots of things, like the sunflowers, are going brown and to seed, others are taking a second opportunity to put out more blooms.  The crab apples are blushing and the asters are fluttery soft.

Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years shows us the fruits and flowers of early fall, with the reminder that the year and the leaves will be turning soon.

Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years puts more emphasis on the turning of the foliage (and the fact that it’s going to be getting harder for me to find pretty flowers to take pictures of as the garden starts to go to sleep – we’re not at all there yet, though.)

…This week my garden is resting green and brown, content and sunny.
