October's Last Sunday 2014........

  I do have one last rose on this rose bush. I love the deep salmon color of this rose.  I am only in charge of this rose bush, it is my daughter Kathy's. Her son got it for her one mother's day. When she moved from her house to an apartment, she didn't want to leave it behind and could not take it with her.  So that is how I became it's care giver.  One day, maybe Kathy can transplant it in her new yard.
 Zinnia, now this is a hardy flower . Comes in bright colors  and varied petal shapes.
  This is a sunshine flower to me. Love that yellow.
Also it's apple time. I love apple crisp at this time of year. One of my SIL's is crazy for apple pie.  I love to smell cinnamon in any thing cooking in autumn.   A nice roast in the oven and something with cinnamon for dessert. Now that says fall to me.
  How you are enjoying this last Sunday of October....wow did this month go by fast. Today is to be  sunny and warm. We better lap up these wonderful warm days.  XO

    1. Ann, I hope going back to work is enjoyable...maybe seeing co-workers. Sounds like it rained lots and you worked lots..you may be glad to go back. I plan on some early clean up our gardens this year..I usually let it stand till real late winter or early spring.. But I want to see a clean place this year. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  2. Your flowers are pretty...love that yellow zinnia! My zinnias are about done. It's so hard to believe that today is the last Sunday of October. Where does the time go? I'm really enjoying this fall, though. The last few days have been positively gorgeous. Enjoy your day!

The leaves are all over and I truly need to try to rake...maybe make small piles to haul away. I do not bake much..only small amounts ...or I would eat it all the time.

    1. Tete, I saw your wonderful roses on your post, they do look good still. Yes, our Monday is to be a nice one also. We won't have many left, I am afraid. Poor cats. There must be something going around making them so ill. Take care of yourself too. xoxo,Susie

  16. I love zinnias, and that rose is such a pretty color, Susie. You must be giving it good care! Our weather has been mild this autumn. I'm still wearing short sleeves at home, just a sweater if we go up into the mountains.

    PS:We are fully adjusted to the high altitude. I sometimes get short of breath when hiking vertically above 11,000 feet, but if I rest I can keep it up.

    1. Pat, when I was in Utah , last month. After doing a flight of stairs I would feel like a ran a mile. That would take some time for me to get used to. There did not seem to be any flat land.LOL. You are lucky for no big snow storm in Colorado by now. My sister lived in Lakewood for 18 years. Bless you, xoxo,Susie

  19. The Zinnia's are so pretty, and I've never really appreciated them until I saw them on friend's blogs. I want to plant some this spring. Aahh, your salmon colored rose is so lovely, and it's still blooming in October! Those apples look so yummy too.
