Not Indian Summer 3

This rosebud is the result of a newer idea in rose pruning. Instead of waiting until January, this Easy Livin' rose was pruned back in early September. This regime arose from sheer necessity, since almost no one can stand looking at pathetic late summer rose bushes any longer than necessary.

The katydid is the result of other katydids (Scudderia furcata) doing what katydids will do to promote the cause of more katydids.

Just another scene from our California Late Summer of Fun.
