Only a few leaves have turned yellow so far, but there are lots of them on the ground after a couple of windy days.

Indoors - who knew that Sansevieria (snake plants) can bloom?? It turns out that they like some light and this one, started last spring when a piece broke off one of our big ones, is under lights that make it think it's spring.

This is just the bud - Google says it may be a couple of weeks before the blossoms appear.

I've been growing snake plants since 1965 and this is first one to bloom.

Yes, this is the same dahlia as last week - it keeps giving us new blossoms.

Not exactly our yard. We stopped to look at a fog bank over the Salish sea and sun on the water near Point Holmes.

The first zygo cactus to bloom this season. This one has been in an east facing window.

This is here for 'what is not here any more'. We took out a Forsythia which was just not in the right place. They like full sun, and only the top foot even got part sun, because of shading from the garage.

The new bed at the top of the parking space. We moved a poor bedraggled pompom hydrangea in to anchor the center of the (what we hope will be) a hedge.

We planted it elsewhere last year and nearly killed it with lack of water but it seems to be coming back to life.

When is the last time you saw tomatoes ripening outside at Thanksgiving?

A small hosta, just planted this year, is blooming!

Some of the blossoms on the pompom hydrangea have gone from white to green to brown.

It's getting late in the season for lettuce too!

Usually after our stop at the Sieffert's Farm Market we drive past the lookout at Point Holmes and stop for a look!

Today the cloud bank caught our attention! Remember that this is a pano picture and approximately 180o view
