The over blackberries are starting to ferment. The smell is really strong when you walk by the bushes now.

But there are still some that are yet to mature:

The thistles have gone to seed:

And the flowers in the Sisters of Saint Mary's are blooming:

And some are going to seed:

The plums are almost ripe in their trees:

There was another lovely sunset. I wonder if it is because of all the wildfires....

Oh! I finished my cloak for the Renaissance Faire! I decided that sewing was pretty fun, and gives you a good sense of accomplishment. Maybe I should sew more things.....

Jen and I went for a little walk in our neighborhood this evening.

We found a plant covered in ladybugs. There were adults and some pupae. I'm not sure, but this one may have come out of the empty pupa near the top of the plant.

We also found some ripe and delicious blackberries!

We visited the garden at the Catholic Church.

and now I am home editing photos!

Have a great night everyone!
