I think marigolds are the perfect autumn flower! The orange color fits right in and they’re hardy through varying temperatures!
The Bob Cat Fire is now 41,000 acres and only 3% contained due to the fire growth yesterday. The firefighters defended the Mt Wilson Observatory overnight by setting backfires to slow the fire’s progression. My son hasn’t been evacuated yet.
Our daughter was driving from Virginia-Houston today/tomorrow and wanted to stop by New Orleans overnight. Unfortunately, Hurricane Sally changed their plans. We were happy to hear that they drove 15 hours straight through and are safe at home!
So much happening now!
Marigolds are definitely little troopers in the flower pots. Perfect color for this time of year. And yes, you have some major concerns involving your kids. May they continue to be safe.
Wow so many things to worry about in your part of the world. As if COVID isn’t bad enough you have fire, hurricanes & then your election. This flower will cheer you up...hope you all keep safe!
Your country has so many things to deal with at the moment. It was like this at the beginning of this year too. We started with drought, then bushfires, then floods, then Covid. Where is this year going to end I wonder.
@taffy On March 16th I started a flower- photo- a-day photo series. My plan was to bring some joy during lock down, thinking it would last 2 weeks. Now, 6 months later, these cheerful bits of beauty bring so much joy to my own day - I can’t stop posting! : )
