Today in the garden

The garden holds so many lovely things in the autumn.

A view of the blueberry plant that is under the bigger chestnut tree:

Yes, the bright red leaves are the blueberry!  It was LOADED this year, but the birds got them.  Next year...

This is a detail of the fennel — the darker sections are completely done, the greener sections have a lovely, brighter flavor. I’ll harvest some soon to make sausage with them.

Dark brown, and bright green umbrels of the fennel plant.  They look like little fireworks, celebrating the harvest season.

And the big news… looking “through” two walls (I was technically standing in Grant’s room when I took this) and the French door out my bed window!

And Grant, standing next to the wall of HIS bedroom, just to the right of the window that looks out over the quince tree (temporarily on its side…).

Grant, for scale.  He is about 6 feet tall.  His room will be 12 feet deep and 17 feet long...  not HUGE, but actually slightly bigger than the current room in the apartment.

Okay, walls need a little more “filling in.” But, progress! And a stack of lumber to add on top of the sill.

And a week of dry, sunny days to help the construction team.
