Right Before Winter

My ninety-one year old neighbor calls it Wacky Weather!  She pointed out that the acorns fell a month early and spring flowers were blooming in the fall!  Come along with me today and enjoy the flowers blooming this last week of October.

. They are called re-bloomers!  These irises bloom again in the fall.  This one is called Harvest of Memories.

This iris is called Autumn Trisk.ALWAYS write down the names of your irises somewhere!

 This is a Confederate Rose.  It only blooms in the fall and doesn't last very long.

With this beautiful single rose, you can see a little pink from the camellias in the background.

I planted these marigolds in July for fall flowers.  The seed packet was marked to 10 cents late in the season.

 

 This was a rescue pot that was almost dead in July.  It really looks pretty this fall!

 

The petunias are still producing.  Next week this hanging pot will be full of new pansies!

 The geraniums are still beautiful on the front step.  But look at all those leaves!

We may be having Wacky Weather, but for sure there will be leaves to rake!  I worked awhile and it started to get cold.  So I thought I would go inside and ask for some help.

Sardis followed me around to the back door to look for dear husband.  He doesn't look very happy about me going inside.

I found dear husband building a fire to warm up the house.  He made a fire and then went out to help me with the leaves til dark.  I am so grateful for everything in my life.  Thank you for visiting today and sharing some of it with me.  We indeed do have Wacky Weather these days.  My heart goes out to everyone affected by Hurricane Sandy. 

Love,
