The zinnias that I brought in as as a bouquet have all dried up and looke weathered. I am hoping that I can get seed from them.

They did look like this a week or so ago. I have collected seed but it is worth a try to get some more.

We were not going out there for a while so they did die a natural death. The got to have the cold temperatures at night to age them.

The ones that I brought in earlier are probably ready for me to put into jars. I see I have saved some marigold buds and some loose onions. 

Every day is one more healing day for me. The shooting of insulin each day is easier and I do feel better. I had a walk to the mail box this morning and I did refill one of the bird feeders. I am not getting any birds today. I don't understand that. We are having a rainy day with cold.  Thanks for checking in today.
