Autumn is ready to make a golden sweep.

Lit tree
I love autumn sunsets. Some days the light catches trees and coats them like warm honey.
Here comes the night
There goes another day.
Dew
We’ve had a lot of warmer days lately though I’ve heard talk of possible rain. Summer’s so short…
Serenity
I’d driven past this pond countless times but always on a road where the view is largely blocked. Last week a friend drove me down a side road and pointed out an unobstructed view. Quite a revelation!
New and green
With our relatively short growing season new spring growth doesn’t waste any time popping out once the weather improves.
Washington is the “evergreen state” and bright green is the order of the day this time of year.
I love these cones. They look like little green wookies.
The everything store
Sunny Farms is something of an “everything” store. In addition to the nursery and farm store, there are groceries, a small deli, butcher, produce, and supplements. This time of year the nursery comes to life.
The area in front of the store is packed with life: hanging baskets, flowers in small and large containers, shrubs, and trees. I find it hard to shop there this time of year without bringing home some sort of “growie” that I hadn’t intended to fall in love with. Next door in the nursery are veggie starts and a variety of deciduous, evergreen, and fruiting trees and bushes.
It doesn’t help those with weak will that they make their stock appealing. It’s dazzling after a long winter.
