Summer is over and cool weather prevails.  Such a pleasant change.  The garden is winding down; I have taken down all the tomato plants.  The Cosmos and morning glories are in full bloom.  Now to prepare for winter and next year's planting.

In mid September there was another typhoon that rolled through; it took about 5 days to finally cross Honshu.  We got buckets of water, flooded creeks and flower beds, but very little wind.  The wells will be stocked for the fall.   I added dirt to this flower bed and removed the iris as they have rotted the last two years.  That was just a couple of days before the storm.

 

This is the creek at the back of our property with the adjacent fields and streams flowing into it.  That was a lot of water.
