Change is coming...

 I can't believe we are almost into September.  It always makes me a little sad.  I love the change of seasons we have here, I think it makes me appreciate each one a little more.  But, I like warm weather and flowers the best!  And when Fall starts peaking in, I know the cold isn't far behind.

I'm seeing some changes happening in our yard too.  Here's what things are looking like.

This is what is left of most of our cone flowers, still kind of cool looking!

The black eyed Susan's are fading...

The Sedum are just starting to turn pink.

The bees are loving them!

The thistles are also fading.

And in the front yard - look at this!  Acorns are starting to fall and there are even a few leaves.

But this is the most exciting change going on.  For several years we've tried to have some work done here, but it's so hard to find contractors.  Finally this week, we are seeing some progress. Earlier in the summer, Bob tore out all the landscaping up from to make room for a porch to be added to our house.  It's something we've wanted for some time and are thrilled to see some steps happen to get it done.  The old little porch has been torn off, dirt has been delivered and concrete is coming.  After it sets up, the other work begins. Hopefully, it will be done in time for us to be able to sit out there before the snow falls!
