By all these lovely tokens
September days are here
with summer's best of weather
and Autumn's best of cheer.

A few little tidbits on my Old Farmer's Almanac Calendar
Did you know?
If you find a red-tailed bumblebee in your home,
expect a visit from a male stranger.
Now is the time to gather bittersweet, strawflowers, and evergreens for fall wreaths.
Before planting in a container, cut up an overripe banana and put it in the bottom of the pot. It will decompose fast and provide beneficial organic matter for the plant.
Full Harvest Moon on the 23rd.
We come from the earth,
we return to the earth,
and in between we garden.
Have a lovely day!

I can't believe September is here already!
My mom loved calenders like these when she lived in Sweden and tended to her garden.;) She followed it to the letter.;)
Thank you for sharing those lovely wisdoms.;)
(Hope the winds from Earl will not be too violent.)

What a pretty calender! You've inspired me to purchase one like this for the new year. I like the Old Farmers Almanac web site!
Such interesting thoughts and tips for September. I'm going to have to try that one with the banana. It seems there is usually an overripe one lingering around here.
Isn't this year going by way too fast? I thought time was supposed to slow down when we got older. Love those picture you did for your brother in law. If I sent you a picture of our house would you do one for me? Let me know about sizes and prices if you would. Thanks. Mimi
I love these calenders....they have such great stories & tips! Thanks for sharing it with us...we'll be watching out for a red-tailed bumblebee...hee hee hee!!
Hi Donna, thanks for those tips...think I will try the banana one!
Have a great weekend!
