We got a very light shower in the wee hours of morning. Lovely fall day happening here. The ash trees are dropping their leaves rapidly. They are the first to loose their leaves and are bare trees almost overnight. I love how the leaves look on the ground. Later I will begin mowing in one direction and blow all the leaves onto the Cellar Bed.
The paved area in front is the drive that separates the yard, east and west.
Our son and two grands are in this weekend and while the boys were hunting I took Jen on a walk back to see the llamas. We couldn't get much closer than 15 feet before I could see they getting ready to run so we used the zoom to catch them.
I caught the young bull we bought and the orphan from last year that Willow raised,who is almost as big, and the older bull having a little contest of wills.
I believe the younger, Ferdinand, is actually the more dominant!
Gardening
Ilene was curious about why I like the Cherokee Trail of Tears beans so much. Here are some pictures to show why. They are tender in almost all stages from the tiny, slender bean like haricot vert to pods with seeds in them. As they age they get a purple cast and when they are left to mature they turn very dark purple.
They climbed almost to the top of the Reids Yellow Dent corn.
I took several pictures of fall blooming flowers, more than I thought I had, but will post about them later.
Just one pictures of reblooming iris Clarence.
Glenda ~ I LOVE your header picture. What a sweet home you have.
ReplyDeleteLove your stand of pampas (?) grass.
The Llamas look cute, and the bulls impressive.
Love your iris.
Have a great weekend ~ FlowerLady
Adorable, and charming home.
ReplyDeleteBull calves have a headache yet?
Have a great weekend.
Like your new header and that Clarence iris-very pretty.
ReplyDeleteMe too on the header. Such a cozy, inviting house.
ReplyDeleteClarence is a beauty!
I'm guessing then that the Trail of Tears beans take a long time to make seed, like my Lazy Housewives. I'm finally getting a little mature seed, but I'm finding that I must wait till the pod turns yellow and thin before I get seed of any size. Maybe the smaller seed will germinate if I use them next spring.
Wow, those llamas are really something! I could see avoiding areas where they were, if I were a predator.
The new header really displays your house and close beds. Charming! And I, too, enjoy your pic of Clarence. Such a crisp color combo.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the llama ladies on their toes (hooves?) and on guard out there. Hope the calving goes well.
I love the new header on your page...and I love the TOT beans too :-)
ReplyDeleteI like your new header photo, too. Those beans are loaded! I can't remember if those llamas are yours. Nice photos!
