The garden keeps showing off beautiful blooms day after day. I know that their time is short and I am cutting flowers with abandon, placing vases on tables and mantels throughout the house. I photographed a collection of three arrangements all crowded together on the dining room table - dahlias, zinnias, and cosmos, each in their own container.
I've since cut down most of the cosmos as I need to tidy the garden beds in order to plant garlic in the next few weeks, and these sprawling flowers had taken over a lot of space. I've left one or two smaller plants in out-of-the-way spots where the bees can still enjoy them.
Hydrangeas are fading, but still so pretty.
I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as
autumnal sunshine by staying in the house.
