And while I was waiting for the pickles........ More Garden Pics

A lot of preserving is standing around waiting for things to boil, things to cool, things to seal in the water bath and rarely, waiting on the pressure cooker. ( my husband does that stuff! )

So I slipped outside and took some late August pictures;  the Black eyed Susans, the Echinacea fading as the fall Mums come on, and the Japanese Anemone or Moon flower.

Things are getting thin, but there is one most spectacular thing to come, Monk's Hood......but that could be another month yet!
