The frost we had earlier this week pretty much killed off most of what was left of summer’s glory. The pink begonias were black and the remaining basil turned brown. I had already cut back the peonies and the day lilies and today I cut back the peppermint and we put covers on the patio furniture and the grill. With Thanksgiving around the corner it’s a little strange to see the last few geraniums blooming by the back door and have a gourd and maize arrangement in the living room. The seasons may be merging, global warming notwithstanding. I can remember Thanksgivings that were bitter cold and some years we had snow. Not sure what’s in store for us this year weather-wise and wonder if there will still be some “color” left in the yard besides the leaves from our neighbor’s tree. FLASHBACK TO FORWARD.
