Progress in different forms

I get a thrill out of watching these umbrella plants by the garden grow. They start all closed up like this one here.

Then they start to open a little at a time.

Next thing I know, they're completely open like this one. So fun to watch them progress.

We also have these wisteria growing along the garden fence. They started as tight little pods and as you can see, the back end is starting to blossom. I can't wait until they're all blooming and gorgeous.

Today the weather was so nice that we wanted to get out and go to the park. I thought this picture of Grandpa and his girl walking along holding hands was so cute. I really can't believe how much Autumn has progressed and grown in just the past few weeks. She's growing like a weed, or a wisteria, or a umbrella plant.
