Fall Flowers



Long ago – back in the Spring, I planted a small patch of daisies, zinnias and cosmos near the brick terrace. I marked off the little patch to protect it from footsteps during the terrace and pool work, but it seemed like forever until I got a few little sprouts. Now here there are, still blooming in October after the first flowers showed up in late August…so I am calling them Fall flowers – the first entry on this topic of the year!

Mary picked up some mums and daisies this at the Luray Farmers’ Market – here are the daisies, taking the place of my seedlings that never showed. As the mums come into color, in Stanley and in Alexandria, I’ll put up some photos.
