Before the killing frost
On a recent bike ride
The big girls similar in size despite the more than 3 year age span
Me with my Kinky Boots I had bright red nails with black bats on them to match
New clematis had one blossom
Dahlia 


Well with all the fall colors it is pretty out but still a sad time for me as the cold kills off all the flowers I spent hours growing. All that is left growing in the ground are pansies petunias snapdragons and mums and half of my baskets that I protect on cold nights. I spent hours digging up glads, dahlias and canna lilies. Also a lot of time was spent bagging dead zinnias, cosmos and sunflowers. Bags and bags. It is easier to run but harder to bike with the strong cold wind. It snowed on me during my run today

Elections. On the Michigan ballot is a proposal to protect women’s right to abortion. The main campaign against it argues that it’s too confusing so don’t vote for it. It’s not confusing at all. 

A cousin’s husband sent an absurd video claiming that if your ten year old son wanted to transition to a girl, there would be nothing you could do to stop the surgery  because the proposal says you can’t interfere with someone’s right to sterilize themselves.  Trumpers are getting crazier and crazier  I fear for this country

Flowers

 By the end of the week we will have frost and most of the flowers posted here will be dead. I try to make my surroundings as colorful as possible. These are flowers from June until now
