I took the hummingbird feeder down. The darned bees had taken it over and the tiny birds were nowhere to be found. Must have started their migration. So glad I took this picture - aren't they just remarkable little creatures?
The garden is pretty much depleted. I looked for tomatoes today - nothing there but a few that had fallen to the ground. I'm canning salsa this week with the tomatoes that I do have. Love that salsa in the middle of winter. We've still got carrots and potatoes, though! Yum!! When we dig those up we'll have bounty for a few months.
The rituals of autumn...

Sounds like you are really getting ready for winter. Here in Georgia the humidity has let up and I really think the temperature is cooling off. Still have plenty of time (I hope) before turning the heat on in the house.
We could have more nice weather but it's definitely not summer anymore! Love your blog, btw :-)
My garden is kaput after the -10C (around 12F) weather we suffered a few days ago! I'm so glad we picked the tomatoes (they will ripen in the house) but it broke my heart to discover my peppers froze! Guess I'll just be canning the tomatoes - good thing I have lots of salsa left from last year!
Beautiful photo..that hummingbird. They are one of the most beautiful creatures, imo. Until they fly really close to your head when you're out in the garden.
You know how much I love the rituals of autumn...not too much but alway trying to love them more.
