Before Frost

What's still blooming 10/12/18:

Heavenly Blue morning glory somewhat affected by the cold.

Non-stop Rosa:


Russian Sage:

Hardy Mum.  Comes back year after year; whereas garden mums do not.

Petunias in window box:


Marigolds from seed.  Thank you, Jeanne C.

Miniature Roses:

The last cone flower of the season.  The others have been composted already.

Still color on the butterfly busy.  Too cold for migrators today.

Zinnias, non-stop blooming:



Morning Glory:
(Love how the light glows from within.  A reminder to "let your light shine"!

Cosmos.  Sadly, the season was not long enough as only a small portion bloomed.
Happily, the bees are still nectaring today.










Dahlias, once-upon-a-time gifts.  Will winter over again after frost.



Volunteer tomato.  Nicknamed it "high hopes"!

Hydrangea:

Montauk Daisy:

An abundance of fungi this year:



Ornamental grasses garden.  Will cut down in the spring.





To everything thing, turn turn turn...
and to every season, a purpose under the heavens:



And of course, dandelions (amongst creeping charley and plantain) this chilly, mid-October day:

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
