Story - "The Falling Sky" and September Flowers

 Here's another story.

The Falling Sky

Ever since he could remember, Matt had heard that the sky was going to fall.

One cloudy day, he began his trek to school.  Suddenly, a mist materialized around him.  The clouds were plummeting.  The sky was crashing down.  He started to run but the fog grew so thick that he couldn't see.

He cried out in terror.  He was going to die.  In agony, he stumbled and fell.

Prostrate, trembling, eternity later, a gentle breeze began nudging him.  Nervously, he peeked up at the sky.

The fog was gone.  The sky was azure blue.  The sun was shining.

It's the season for chrysanthemums but I still have some summer flowers to enjoy so I haven't bought any chrysanthemums.

Crazy little red miniature rose just keeps on blooming.  I like the classic rose shape.

The zinnias are still making new blooms.  I have left the old flowers on the plants as I am hoping to save some of my own seeds this year. 

Yellow dahlia just never stops blooming. What a great plant.

This is just one coleus plant although it has grown different shaped leaves with different coloration.

Interesting.

I think this is a very pretty cosmos.  Only really started blooming properly a couple of weeks ago. I like cosmos but they really would do better in a full sun, drier location.

After  quite a rainy summer, we are supposed to get several days of sun. It will be nice weather to spend outside tidying up the gardens for winter.  The hummingbirds have gone south.  In a couple of months, we will start feeding the winter birds.
