End of the Season

Each time I see a butterfly I know it could be the last time

for this season.

Any day now the north wind will bring colder temperatures.

The growing season is almost over.

The cosmos have bloomed from June through October.

They are a reliable food source

for butterflies and bees.

I grow Chrysanthemums for Autumn color.
I cut long stems for the house.
I grow them for me.
I will dry some blooms for winter teas.

The leaves are turning.
I watched as a southern breeze danced many to the ground.

I did my morning meditation with a white rose.

She drew me in.
I felt like a butterfly seeking nectar.

The Monarchs are migrating.
The season of the butterflies is drawing
to a close.
