Autumn is Near ~ Skywatch Friday

In a few days I'm sure I'll feel the distinct chill in air when nature lets me know that summer is over and autumn is here.  It happens each year, immediately after Labour Day.  Summer goes by very quickly and autumn even more so. I hardly caught my breath all summer as I was so busy catching up with decidedly 'unsummerlike' activities.  But I'm feeling good about it all and happy to see the backside of many small projects which never seemed to get done. Most of it was paperwork related and that kind of stuff is always good to get out of the way as soon as possible.

I'm enjoying the skies above me as always and I'm grateful for the surprises and gifts offered each day if we look up.



This summer I grew sunflowers in the patio garden. 


Normally I only plant them at the community garden but thought I'd do something differently. I noticed the leaves were turning black.  I think it was some kind of fungal disease. I just tried to pluck them off and add diatomaceous earth.




Sunflowers always make me happy with their big, yellow faces.

Thank you for visiting my Skywatch Friday post today. Enjoy your weekend.
