Five for Friday 134

Calling Autumn, please come in.

While Labor Day has passed, signaling the unofficial end of summer, the weather has not taken the hint that cooler temps are expected. I’ve decided to take this weekend to finish reading all the summery articles I’ve compiled, and munch on end of summer produce. I’ve held off making soup just yet, but I am so excited to welcome autumn back. Consider this a summer-winding-down weekend reading compilation.

First, this article and video about Anna Wintour’s beautiful 40 acre garden.

Welcome to Palmerton Island, Population 35.

The Monarch Butterflies are completing their annual 3,000 mile migration pattern south to Mexico. Here is recent coverage in Wisconsin, and complete coverage on where to view them in Mexico.

Bon Appetit created some truly great simple recipes to savor the produce and ease of the season. I’ll be trying out this marinated zucchini recipe to take advantage of the leftover produce we have around here.

Finally, this gallery of beautiful photos and facts on hummingbirds.

Have a beautiful, cooler weather, weekend!
