Well before it got all blowy, rainy, windy, and wet this week, I had the vestiges of some flowers still in the garden. I had few bright pink geranium blossoms and a beautiful cerulean morning glory trying desperately to stay warm ( you could tell). But in the front of the house, in the pots that are snugged up against the doorway and fences I had this beauteous rose….

There are a few buds still shivering, but so far no hard frost, so I’m hoping they will bloom and I can prop them on the kitchen windowsill as a reminder of the future….next summer.
