And so just incase I'd get a google inactivity flag, here I go with a nothing post. It is supposed to be fall here, but we have a resurgence of heat, another hot couple days. Today I was out back blowing leaves down the hill and shook my head, I felt rain drops? Looked up to the sky and realized this is what happened several times through the summer, sweat from my head and brow! This is October 2...proving to me I made the right decision not to move south into perpetual summer. I do not like hot weather. I like 4 seasons even though here the final one, the winter can drag on too long. I hope we soon turn into crisp cooler fall temps before we plunge deep into the cold times. I know I vowed this past winter which went on forever to not complain when it got warm, but this has not been a MN summer.
Changes changes, below is a photo of the side vintage hydrangea tree on this day in 2016 and below it is a photo of it today. It is fading away. Next year I have to have the landscaper get and plant a new one for me. This year I put in a tree outback, Japanese lilac. It will never replace the wonderful big old ash trees we used to enjoy before we had to take them down due to emerald ash borer. The 2016 photo shows one old ash and the 2023 photo below shows the new garden chain link fence.
In August SIL came to visit from CO and raved about the side hydrangea which I know is looking older, more tired, just not as it used to be. I found a photo of it August 2015 below.

And as blogger and maybe google are acting up that is it for this update for me
