Pleased to see the Heavenly Blue Morning Glories come up, but the cold has turned them purple! 😮

The pink flower in the back is actually the purple ones.

Nature does fascinating things! 🌱

The other blue pumpkin* we got today sitting with the decorative gourds from our garden 🤭🎃🌱

*I believe these are called Jarrahdale Pumpkins.

Went to the pumpkin patch today. All these came home with me, except the litte decorative gourd in the middle that looks like a duck - that one we grew ourselves. He needed some big friends! 🤭😁🌱🎃

Haven't had a chance to take new pictures, but this was from a month ago. Pretty sure it's full grown now and I can go pick it! Here's hoping, because the temps are starting to drop finally. 🌱🍉

It started out pure white. I thought it might turn pink or orange. But no, it turned...green 🤔🌱🎃

So this gourd vine crawled up the side of the greenhouse and into the open part. (Pictured)

I look out the window beyond as I'm picking it, and see two more gourds hanging from the tree right outside. I have no idea how to get to them or get them down. 🌱🤣

Still blooming in the basement. I think I brought this home last fall. 🌱🥰

Lots of cherry tomatoes, some Cherokee purple, two little zebras, and that one Hungarian Heart.

Also found a few cucumbers in the greenhouse today. 🥒💚

Can't complain 🌱🍅😎

Beautiful. 🌱🫘

One lone Hungarian Heart tomato appeared. The rest of them defaulted to cherry sized tomatoes 🧐🌱🍅

If it's not one thing, it's another that stops me from getting a proper corn harvest.

This year I planted Glass Gem Popcorn. It was eaten right off the stalk. They left a few under developed and molded.

Crows? 🐦‍⬛🌱

This is Lucky, the kitten who now lives inside after we found her missing a foot. She is amazing!!

Currently on antibiotics while it heals, and goes back to the vet next week to see if she needs further amputation because of a bone fragment.

I mention her in the article below 💜

One of the two monarch butterflies on the purple prairie thistles today. 🦋🌱💜

This is why I let my yard be unruly!!
