I still have the feeders up, but with the cold nights we have had lately, I sure hope they are safely roosting in a much warmer place!

I'm lucky that six of them live close enough so that we can see them frequently. My dad is doing much better; at 93, he's pretty amazing in that he can still manage on his own.

We had a light frost yesterday morning, and then even a little snow in the afternoon! I think all the flowers survived, but we have another cold night coming up tomorrow, so that may be the end of the tender annuals.

Wonderful season is, and I agree we have to enjoy the beauty of nature before the cold winter comes. I love the crab apple tree fruit, the birds will be thankful in cold weather. What the coleus! it grew well in this hot summer, isn't it? Lovely anemone, so tender and bright.<br />Hugs!

I would check on my friends' posts every once in awhile, but I knew if I tried to keep up with everyone all the time one hour at the computer would turn into two...or three..:) I think I may have seen the last of the hummingbirds this week, which always makes me a bit sad, but since the weather is going to turn colder, I do want them to make it to their Southern home soon. I'm still seeing a few Monarchs, though--who knows, maybe some of them traveled here from your house?:) My dad is doing better, and things are slowing down. By the end of the month we'll be heading to Texas to see the two littles, which is something I always look forward to. Hope things slow down for you, too!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-15407972885740759882018-10-10T08:22:05.962-05:002018-10-10T08:22:05.962-05:00Hi, Cheryl.

He just turned 93 and is still mowing his own lawn:) There are family and friends who would gladly do it for him, but it is something he enjoys, so we don't want to deny him that. So glad the zinnias are doing well for you and that you are enjoying them. They are such a welcome sight this time of year, and the butterflies love them. I am gardening more and more for wildlife, for which I have to give you much credit for inspiring me to do that.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-16298334617592108092018-10-10T08:18:21.638-05:002018-10-10T08:18:21.638-05:00Thanks, Beth.
