The leaves that are green

 

The full blue moon of August 30 is a waning crescent now. Next week,  there will be a new moon again.  

 

This is the first week of meteorological fall, and it feels autumnal today, overcast and 60's,  hoodies and long sleeves after the 90's Labor Day weekend.  

 

The  growing season is still ripening tomatoes and zucchini and peppers. The lawn grass may be turning brown, but the wild and ornamental grasses are sporting their seed heads that look like fringes or fox tails. 

And the leaves are still green.  The light through the leaves is glorious. Even the weedy trees that will have to be cut back in a couple of weeks, let them grow now.  

 

The garden sprawls in its wild and overgrown nature. Morning glories climb over the squash vines.
