September Days

 We've had glorious days here in late September, and I've been out and about as a result, both at home and further afield.  That is until today!  It's raining and I'm stuck inside.

Down in the harbour it was looking sunny and bright.

The sailing school was getting packed up for another season.  All the boats have been stored inside, soon the docks will coe out.

Beyond the harbour I had a good view of Cape Rich across the blue waters of the bay.

In the spaces where it could, New England Aster was blooming, the last of the summer wildflowers., and one I look for every year.

Here at home the past several weeks have been devoted to canning and seed gathering.  These red peppers were canned shortly after the picture.

The garden, at least the view out the living room window, is turning green again, with the spreading hosta leaves dominating.

But a few flowers still disrupt the green, among them some Canna Lilies.  Can you spot this yellow one in the picture above?

A few red Zinnias and a white Phlox are new to the back garden this year.  And that's an overview of our lives these September days.
