and everything else for the last week, plus...
leaving all living things limp & tired...
was blown out by today's strong breezes & scudding clouds...
all that's left of yesterday's muggy threat of thunderstorms...
there are still hopes for some bright creeper color to come...
but the drying heat took a terrible toll...
and the cooling wind has also cleared out much that had turned...
as well as the dried & withered victims of the heat spell...
the good news is that many trees are still quite green...
or like the trumpet vine, just beginning to turn...
my ferns have enjoyed the relatively cool summer...
and are flourishing in the shady back yard...
where a half dozen or so apples are ripening...
I'll have to keep an eye on them if I want any...
the critters got all of my cherries & peaches this year...
there are 6 or 7 pomegranates, high up, close to the fence...
which are still quite green...
they'll probably need at least a month to ripen...
but there was one that needed picking that I could reach...
once they split, and this one was in the direct sun...
they will mold in cooler, damp weather...
and our nighttime lows are heading towards the lower 50's...
maybe even the upper 40's over the next 10 days or so...
so I picked it...
it's not sweet, but it sure looks good...
