But so brave and defiant of the coming winter in their scrawniness. Rock on, end-of-season cosmos. We’ll be longing for you come the dead of January . . .
Oh mine were looking like that…until the aphids ate most of them…and then the frost. Oh! the early frost. The frost-kissed blossoms were really pretty on Saturday morning, but now they have turned completely black, like a Mount Everest climber’s frost-bitten toes. It is sad. Amputation is scheduled for Saturday.
