    a mystery indeed. it looks a bit forlorn now ( who doesn’t after seven frosts) but i guess after a few hours of sunshine, it should be smiling. 🙂

    Sure is desiccated!! Lacking interest, passion, and energy!! But sturdy to bear the vagaries of nature!!

    Even this sunflower with it head dropped it still beautiful. They are my favorite flowers…I love the big ones and the little one….and I want them all over the year and veggie gardens. Love the photo. It is sort of like the way I am feeling tonight. The time change always does me in. After 30 minutes my thumbnail has not gone up on the site so here it is. Genie
