These are the last 3 zinnia arrangements for the year. They have held on through some chilly days, extending the feeling of summer, in spirit anyway, through the end of October.
It got down to the upper 20's briefly overnight last night and this morning I bid them all farewell and thanked them for their amazing service over the last 3-4 months. That means these are the last of the zinnia photos for the year. This time I mean it.
This last photo of the bougainvillea shows that it did come through at the end and put on a pretty good show despite my doubts.
I guess I better get out there and trim, scatter, pull, and move. Just the usual fall gardening chores. I am waiting for Barry and Alex (the 2 remaining Harvey boys) to come and knock on the glass and tell me they are ready to help. Garden chores are much more enjoyable with cats to help.
And one final thing, since it is the last day of October. It would not be right if we did not have some of this hanging around the house.
Happy Halloween!
Your zinnias are making me swoon. The frost killed mine three days ago, 😩 but they made me happy for most of the summer ❤️ Fran

Fran! I am with you now. All my zinnias are dead. Except these three arrangements which may last one more day. If I am lucky.
