It has been a great season. Even though the rain storms and wind caused them to lay on the ground they still put out so much great color. The frosts has finally finished them off and I took the zinnias down. I pulled back a couple of the leftovers.
The few that survived did start turning brown as we had many frosty mornings. I took them down today as I see the weather is going to turn bad on me. I have one more day in which I will pull up the remaining stems by their roots and shake off the dirt.
I ended up with three bags of recycle material. The roots I am going to toss in the garbage. I will have to take another trip to the north end of town to get to the bins.
I don't have a lake in my backyard. This pan of water gives me a great reflection like a lake of the maple tree.
The contrast of the old with a new bud seems sad. I hope the weather holds so I can see the bloom open.
Thanks for stopping by today.
