Some parts of the world are getting too much rain, but we are not getting enough. I have noticed that the water levels are getting low on a lot of the small ponds. All the mud you see here is usually underwater. However, our temperatures are cooler now, and we are thankful for that.
NOTE: Please keep those in the path of Hurricane Florence in your thoughts and prayers.
2. Fall Gardening

The cooler weather makes me want to plant something! On Tuesday I sowed seeds for 'Black Seeded Simpson' Lettuce. It is a leafy lettuce that can be picked a few leaves at a time. It will continue to make new leaves until the cold weather kills it. I planted it in tubs so it will be easy to cover for protection against an early frost.

Hummingbird Clearwing Moth,
Hemaris thysbe. Despite wing damage, it was flying just fine.

I think this is a juvenile Ruby-throated Hummingbird. Most of our Hummingbirds have started their journey south. I expect they will all be gone by the first of October, but we will keep the feeders up awhile longer just in case a few stragglers come by.
Have a wonderful day!
