Moonglow, Asters and Other Things




Still no Carolina Wren at my feeder. But then I was at work most of the day so maybe I missed her. It is still very cold here in my part of the gardening world. But the moon has been beautiful with a white wide circle around it at night and early in the morning. The weatherman said he saw moon dogs early one morning last week, I have looked but have not seen any. I have never had the pleasure of seeing moon dogs, I have seen sun dogs however. As cold as it has been the past several days I thought we might see some sun dogs, but I have not spotted any.

Yesterday I mentioned I ordered more Asters. Asters are really a nice carefree fall plant, not quite as showy as Mums but the bees and butterflies love them, they live for years with little care.
