Early Thanksgiving this past weekend. Only missing 3 of us. It’s so nice to have littles around again.

Not all native, but not invasive either.

So much ugly happening. Here’s a bit of cheery beauty. The Swamp Sunflowers have grown up through the Dogwood branches. Searching and reaching for the light.

Days of wind and rain has the goldenrod a bit beat down. Still lovely. Still bursting with pollinators.

Lion’s Ear in bloom. It’s about 8 foot tall.
It’s not native, but it’s gorgeous and the hummers like it. It’s not perennial here in East Tennessee. We’ll see if it self seeds or not.
