It is Day 184 and the 9th of October. This is a picture from earlier this summer of Daisies in full bloom. I am afraid they are rather beaten down today by the rain. Let us remember them as they were.
Day 183 is the 8th of October. Not every plant is a flower but if you leave most of them long enough you will get a flowers. For instance, these are chives which have been left too long.
Day 185 is October 10th. We looked out our family room patio door a few pictures ago. On the other side of the room is a small window that looks out onto the Patio off the kitchen. The grapes there are all picked and the leaves are turning red. Soon the leaves will be gone and the rain will come.
Day 188 and we are looking back to the spring in the garden. The roses after the rain can be so beautiful. The colors are deeper and the raindrops are like jewels on the petals.
October 12th is Day 187. I love flower blossoms. They are so amazing close up.
Day 189 is 14 October and we are over halfway through the year in Susan’s Garden. She is cleaning up the garden as the beans and tomatoes are over and pulled out. And as she cleaned up this beautiful cabbage was found. It will be on the dinner table sometime this month.
Day 186. This was the grapes a few weeks ago. They are now spread out to dry into raisins and then Susan will make raisin bread and cake. The autumn is not all bad.

Susan has several sets of stairs in the yard and garden and every one of them is turned into a little garden of their own. Walking around the house is a joy. These are the stairs up the side of the house into the back yard. 28 November is Day 234.
Day 231 and these are last summer’s daisies. It is amazing how many flowers Susan has each year.
Day 233 is the 27th of November. Susan bought Baby’s Breath last year and it was a nice plant. The blossoms were allowed to open naturally into a spray of little white flowers.
December 1st is Day 237. There are flowers in Susan’s garden that I don’t know and to be perfectly honest they look like they might be weeds. But they always look so great.
Day 238 is the 2nd of December. Up the South side of the house Susan has containers full of flowers, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, egg plants. It is beautiful walking here in the summer. Not like now with the rain pelting down outside.
Day 239. Here are my two Madonnas. We are on our way out somewhere and Susan has picked a bunch of flowers from the garden to take with us.
29 November is Day 235 of the Susan’s Garden Project. I keep posting pictures of summers past. That is because it is raining and there is not much in the garden I want to show anyone. So let’s enjoy summer!
Day 236. As I am sure you noticed, we are behind in our posts. I am working on it. Here are the calla lilies again. I think they look so good against the weathered wood.
Day 240 and we are still looking at summers past. Tulips don’t last nearly long enough. But they must give way to other glories as the daffodils did for them.
December 5th and guess what I did today? Susan’s Garden has a new look both in the back yard and in the front.
December 6th is Day 242 of the Susan’s Garden Project to post a picture from Susan’s Garden every day for a year. Every summer we get single fuscias coming by themselves in the garden. And boy do the hummingbirds love them.
Day 243. We have some small purple tulips that seem to return on their own as well. Neither of us can remember buying them.
Day 244 is December 8th. Another flower that seems to have taken up residence is the snapdragon. This is a flower with a mind of its own. Every spring flowers appear here and there and Susan moves them when they are small to a location where they show off the best.
