Swine flu for fall

My computer was infected with what could only be the Swine flu for computers. It's much better now and I'm catching up on my blogging...I'm sure my exciting life has been missed by all! (hehe) Well, some other signs of fall besides the flu are these pics...above my mum plant that returns every year and just keeps getting bigger! It blooms so nice and I really love it's color.
From August to October wasps go nuts building wasp condos...here's a fine example of their work after I had the exterminators blast it from the side of the dormer. Jack really wanted to do it himself but I had visions of wasps attacking husband on ladder...I wanted to make that 35yr. anniversary!
The dogwood trees are decked out with the pretty red berries....

When even the weeds look nice, you know fall is coming!
The pumpkins are ready for harvest...will they last until October? Hmmm....
The buckeye tree is loaded with nuts and the leaves are already a pretty shade of orange...
The sun was setting on the backyard and it made the locust trees look almost red...(instead of the ugly brown they turn this time of year!)
Finally, a sink full of veggies freshly picked from our little garden says: "enjoy this now, soon it will only be a tasty memory or a freezer treat! Hopefully all the nasty viruses, either computer or human, find no one as this lovely summer fades and fall starts to give us a final show of fun and color...Happy Labor Day everyone!

I thought of you today as I finished painting our upstairs bathroom and put out the pumpkin decorations. Time for that cute little beach ball guy to go away until next year!
