Grand Avenue by Mike Thompson for September 12, 2022

We see a fair amount of “yard envy” around here. My least favorite is the guy who drives his golf cart around the neighborhood to check everyone else’s out.

Yards vary widely around here: super-green lawns to rocks to orchards.

Not so much Fall as the lack of rain until this week where I live.

Put a positive spin on that, now lawn just as ‘good’ as everyone else’s.

Who could hate the best season of all?

Same here. Our lack of rain has really hurt the area.my coneflower garden is pretty well ready to be cut down. Usually I don’t do it until the middle or end of October. The rain provides much better water for my flowers than our city water that I use that has chemicals in it to prevent the alga bloom.

Time to plant the pansies.
