Pokeweed Fruit

This is a weed that dies back in the winter and comes up bigger and stronger each year. The birds love the fruit and it is a good natural screen but it is classified as an invasive and it puts up shoots all over the place.

Up at six to take Robert to the airport for his two week sojourn in Arizona. Coming home I saw an enormous setting moon, but I didn't have my camera. Dashed home to get it but by that time fog had come in. I went swimming for the first time in two weeks because the pool was closed. Swimming at seven in the morning was delightful. Then I was the first customer for an oil change, and then is was cleaning and goodwilling and gardening and tree canvassing and enjoying a day of perfect weather.
