Random shows of fall

The final frost was a little late in coming. I took a few shots of the most determined flowers.
The morning before we blew out the sprinklers they ran one more time. It was chilly to say the least and the ice coated everything, like a magical icy wonderland.

If you can't tell these are Johnny Jump-ups. Yellow Daisies

Petunias, obviously before the ice

the Yellow Daisies in their glory

Roses

Cosmos

Apple (I know not a flower)

Gillardia

Cosmos waving in the late afternoon sun

Maple tree that put on a it's own performance

Mother Nature was generous this fall with her colors

October quickly fades into November. . .

I can't believe how quickly this last two months have gone by. It seems all I ever have time for anymore is homework and more homework. I am not a great writer and the English class I am taking requires a fair amount, not to mention the reading. I love to read, but reading and analyzing is not so easy. I can say I am a more open minded reader.

Now for the second Sunday out my back door.

In October the trees were doing some serious changing. The first serious frost was slow in coming so there were still some flowers blooming. I am not posting any of them although I took plenty of pictures. November was a definite change. Winter has arrived, cold, windy and just not nice at all.

The poor tree is making a desperate attempt to hang on to a few final leaves. Sadly no matter how hard it tries it will not succeed.

My reading book goal is behind, my indexing goal is behind, my house is a mess, my life is out of control. I need to get back to the homework.
