One more bud is left to open. The orchid is a year old and just bloomed again for me with no effort from me. I just gave it tablespoons of water once a week.
The rains gave my almost dead sedum some redish colors. It seems we have moved to the level of a moderate drought now after a few weeks of spotty rains.
The rose hips are few but there are some. The bush needs to be pruned back and I am hoping there will be some good fall weather yet in order to do that.
This maple tree doesn't have the most colorful leaves as some other kinds but it is showing some rusty colors this fall. The sun shining on it with the comparison of dark green spruce makes a good color contrast that makes the maple leaves look better.
I will start laying floor tile in the bathroom today. I don't have any plans to finish it today and I will just finish it on Monday. I have all the woodwork trim removed and refinished. I have some final decision to make as to what pattern I want to use to put down the tile squares. I tend to like to be creative so the squares may not be all stacked squares. It is a gray dull day so far. We had some rain in the night as the deck is still wet. I can wait to mulch leaves when it drys out some. Have a good weekend.
What a pretty orchid!
ReplyDeleteYour orchid is beautiful! So is the maple tree which is hanging on to its leaves.
ReplyDeleteI had a good weekend, thanks!
We just got past a burn ban here that lasted a good long time. After a few inches rain I think we are in a moderate drought also. Your orchid is beautiful
