Summer Hangs On... by peggysirk

Summer Hangs On...

Today is a gorgeous 90 degree (32C) day in North Carolina. However, the forecast calls for a substantial temperature drop by Friday. I see soup and sweater weather in the very near future. :)
Nothing about this vibrant flower hints at "soup and sweaters", so soak up the sunshine while it lasts!

@barbsmith ~ Barb! You're back!! Thanks for the fav!

This is really exotic - I rather like it's furled flower as well. It's all or nothing weather-wise for you guys isn't it or by 'sustantial fall' do you mean a pleasant 20C?!

@judithg ~ Substantial is about a 30 degree drop, with a high temps of 60-65F (15-18C) and lows of 50-55 (10-13C)...although apparently it's just a tease and things will be warming up again at some point next week.
