One of the things I like most about gardening is the infinite possibility for resurrection.  So I didn't pick the last flush of green beans in time....oh well, there's always next year!  Hmmm..the Artemesia overwhelming that lovely short Mullein*?....let's see, which will I move or can I divide!  Never got around to thinning this or re-potting that: tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.  In the meantime, they all flourish or hunker or even languish and it still looks like garden, flowers still bloom, and if all else fails the Rose Campion seeds itself about, cheerfully blooming somewhere, no matter what!

Today is a sunny October day, cool but bright.  Rain is due later this week, which is actually good.  A few shrubs are beginning to turn, and I am watching the progress of bulbs I bought on sale early this summer. They have grown into marvelous spires with smallish purple-throated white flowers...surely I'll find the package with the plant's name sometime before spring, and devise an even better spot for them!

Our bird population is dwindling somewhat, but the nut hatches will stay I'm sure.  The jays will keep everyone but themselves in line all winter.   This year I know I'll be more conscientious about a feeding station!

On a day like today, all is possible.  A good thing to remember!

*Verbascum 'Jackie' - a short perennial mullein that blooms a lovely muted apricot flower continuously from spring all the way to now.  This is its second year despite general neglect.  I must look for more!
