It's beginning to look like October. A beautiful autumn day. Low humidity. The light is looking golden. Notice in the picture above how many pine needles our pine tree is dropping. They're hard to get up as they get caught in the tines of the rakes and have to be pulled out. Our hope is to get them up before the leaves fall. However, that's our hope every year. It's easier said than done when busy.
We've been quite dry lately and need a really good rain. This combined with my being busy with school and not watering like I should has caused our plants to look rather mangy. I gave them all a good soak this afternoon. We'll see if the flowers bounce back. I sure hope they do.
I'm gonna get back on track and keep watering even if the plants continue to get mangy. It can't hurt and they'll appreciate it in the spring.
Dale has heard our pine tree called an Austrian pine and a red pine.
