There’s a battle going on in the garden right now.

On one side we have the fall foliage: the reds, the golds, the yellows, the scarlets and the browns.

On the other side we have the summer blooms holding on for dear life. Like in the photo below.

The Verbena and the Scaevola still blooming their heads off. On a day like today, where the temps reached 80 degrees, this scene still feels appropriate. And it will for the next few days as the heat sticks around.

But we all know, all it takes is one cold night and it’s gone.

I’m not ready for it to go yet.
