Julia and I are leaving on a little vacation to Germany and Poland, mainly to visit family. My Mom is 93 years young.
My problem is that I really love Autum in Canada. So it is hard to say good bye to my gardens and this beautiful country.
The grapes were ready, I was not.I totally forgot about them hiding behind the fall raspberries which are not ripe yet and which I will leave in the care of my wonderful garden mate Bob.So another good bye to my beloved berries.
they were very pretty on the vine and amounted to more than 4 buckets full of lovely grapes
there are very few flowers left. this is a little fall aster
I picked some apples , just because they look so pretty.It is very difficult to grow apples organically. This year they are almost useless, being riddles with little worms which created railroad tracks though the apple.
Then there are the beets.they are totally disappointing. This is almost the complete harvest. How can something grow all summer ( or not grow) and stay so small. I did water them and I gave them food.
it took a while to have him sit still.
my lovely family, Christina , Tyler ,Cordell and little Hunter.
Cordell, an amazing little boy.
the other lovely grand daughter Alyssa and Micheal came to visit.
Look at those beautiful eyes. The other amazing little boy Michael.
this is my favorite flower insect picture I took this year
i loved all the bumble bees business in the many flowers.
I am now going back in time. The corn harvest was great. I was never able to grow it well in previous years. Either the racoons ate it, or the worms. This year , perhaps to make up for the Zucchini that died ,I had at least 8 doz of beautiful corn.
One last clover. I use red clover in my tea collection.

I love it when you have a new blog post. You have so many exquisit photos and words to tell about what you've been up to. There is so much to comment on! Thankfully, we get to talk to each other in person, but I didn't know so much about your great grand sons. They are so beautiful. It must fill you to flowing over to have them in your life.
Be safe while you are away, my dear friend.
p.s. The water colour of the 3 churches turned out wonderfully!
