Bags and bags

No rain today - beautiful sunshine - lovely temperature - no wind - so this PM, I went to my muddy garden and filled bags and bags with garden waste. It is a sad feeling to put your garden to bed....I pulled out cosmos, asters, sunflowers, weeds,
but still have lots of flowers and colour. I like to have some colour in the garden till after Thanksgiving. The beans are still producing and swiss chard, tomatoes and onions are thriving also...amazing. Rain is forecast again for tomorrow!! Boo!Hoo!
While in the garden, a huge and beautiful monarch butterfly landed for a few seconds on a gaillardia bloom. It took my breath away for a minute. Where was my camera??
