Autumn

 At last the sunflowers are flowering!! I was hoping for seeds by now...






Keeping the bees going.

I was just moving it to sit on a brick....and it came off the vine....all 19 pounds of it!!

It rained heavily all last night and most of this morning so tidying indoors was started...now it looks a mess! 
At least our sofa is back to the wall now giving us six inches more room. We need to get rid of another two seat sofa which is taking up too much room and is surplus to requirements...but has lost its fire safety label. So no-one wants it....even the council recycling centre only wants those that they can refurbish and pass on to those in need. That means those with a label..... The only choice seems to be pay £16 for the council to lift it, you can't even take it to wherever they would take it yourself.

I am wondering if a leather worker might like the leather!!

Yay for late flowering sunflowers! I've got an old very limp leather loveseat...which is piled with pillows so I can sit on it and get up again! Hope you figure out a way to get rid of your extra couch. Mine was a gift, and eventually I need to give it to the next person...whoever.

Catching up after weeks away due to bereavement.
We used t burn old sofas on bonfire night - they were much in demand! Not now though... somewhat sadly.

Those sunflowers are so tall.

Good luck rehoming the sofa, or its leather.

I hope the squirrels steer clear of your sunflowers! (Do you have gray squirrels up there? They just ravaged our sunflowers yesterday.)
