Or rather, at the end of the season. . . .

The overnight temperatures are falling lower, and the highs are not as high. Fall color is beginning to appear—oranges, reds, browns. Acorns are falling; goldenrod blooms.

My zinnias are still blooming, and perhaps, because of the cooler weather, they are more prolific than they have been all summer.

I am enjoying the last blooms and the last bit of color before the winter comes.
