CLAM CHOWDER AND A FLOWER

We went to our son's house for dinner tonight--the best clam chowder. Thank you, Taylor.

After dinner we checked out the garden and a poor sunflower had fallen over so I took one of the blooms home. What could be better for a summer evening: good food, a beautiful bloom and then home to sit on the lawn swings with a neighbor.

But it's freezing here tonight. Not real freezing, not the ice-forming kind, but really cold for August 15th. The low tonight is going to be about 50 degrees. That's 10 Celsius. I'm going to go put a hot brick in my bed now.

Not much of a post, is this? Not funny or even very interesting. So, imagine you open your door and find a sunflower like this greeting you. Mother Nature saying, "Here, I made this just for you. You are loved. Really, really loved." And you are.

Feel better, now?

THE FALL LEAVES HAVE FALLEN, EVEN INDOORS

Even the topiary is sporting fall leaves.

Actually, I had a vase of sunflowers next to the topiaries and when the flowers died I threw them out and didn't notice some leaves had fallen on the topiary. It looks so "fallish" that I'm hesitant to clean it up.
