Our weather has reached a pre-autumn sweet spot where the nights are cool (50F/10C) and the days are warm (70F/21C). Today I rediscovered the portion of the garden behind the garage and can see it is time to cut back the low-mow grass. This afternoon I removed the weeds I do not want to spread and tomorrow, who knows? I may change the vertical protuberance of the green.
I walked around looking for pollinators to photograph. I wasn’t disappointed. See this Saturday’s post for a roll call. I saw two winged migrators; a monarch and what I believe is an evening grosbeak or yellow throated warbler? I also spotted an enormous bumblebee enjoying the asters.
We love having visitors to the garden.

Looks like you have two sweet spots – the pre-autumn sweet spot and the garden behind the garage. Wonderful!

Yes, fair point. Frogs and toads too. But there’s a supply and demand issue!

Thank goodness the heat wave ended (at least here in LA)! Glad to see temperate temperatures in your neck of the woods, as we segue into fall!
