Fall Flowers

Who knows when the rain will stop or how soon the first frost will come. In the meantime I'm harvesting as fast as I can, before marigolds get mushy and zinnias mold. For now, they are bright and bold as fall flowers tend to be. The fields and shop are full of strong yellows and fuschia pinks -- a shot of intensity even as the mellow greys and soft greens start to settle in for awhile.
