Trying to hang on to summer . . .

The following pictures were taken yesterday in my garden.  I could NOT believe that it was November 3rd and there were still lovely flowers blooming.  Can you say global warming?

This silly lilly is still blooming.  Okay, it's not as pretty as it should be, but it's still blooming.  I don't think I've ever seen any of our lilies bloom this late in the year.

Silly lily


Over the summer my friend Leann sent me a lovely hydrangea.  Isn't it pretty?  It's been blooming since mid-summer.

Final hydrenga


The marigolds are still going strong, too.

Marvelous marigolds


And one of my favorite flowers, cosmos--still in full bloom.

Cute cosmos1

Are they still here this morning?  I'm afraid to look.  The temps dropped to the high 30s the night before.  But even if they're all gone today, they were there yesterday, and they were PRETTY!

Is anything still blooming in your garden?
