I like these things.

The gap in the trees where the old oak once stood. This opening changed the backyard this year. It allowed me to plant more sun loving plants.



One of those plants is this grass. I lost the tag. Bad gardener.



I just love the robust delicacy.



Pokeweed thrives.



In a shadier spot, the recent rains have brought color back to the garden.



The temperatures are decidedly fall like. It's 63 degrees. More rain from the Tropics heading this way on Wednesday night. We can use it. I won't complain. Today it was sunny and nearly 80 degrees. The dogwoods are starting to turn.
