Wordless Wednesday: Last blooms of summer
Author: Mama's Empty Nest
Mama of this empty nest, I’m content to live a quiet, country life with my husband of 40+ years and to view gorgeous sunsets off our own back yard deck. Mama to three adults and Nana to adorable grandchildren, my empty nest fills up again with noise and laughter when they all return 'home'. A former English teacher, reporter/editor, education director for a non-profit organization, and stay at home mom, I retired after a season of substitute teaching at a private academy. Now I enjoy time spent with my grandchildren and family and writing words that seem to pour out of my soul or wandering around the countryside with my camera. Foremost, my faith sustains me as I meander through the empty nest stage of life. My favorite scripture is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” View All Posts
Those are my favorite flowers of all-time! Gorgeous photos, M.E.N. And most of mine have withered mostly due to drought around here. Fall is my favorite season, too.

Thanks! Glad you liked the photos. I knew we would have something else in common! Fall is the best, isn’t it?

Love the late summer blooms! It’s that one last burst of bright color before we dawn into a new season of new colors (fall colors, that is). =D

I love the colors of summer — just not the heat and humidity! But fall shall remain my favorite season of all. I love the beautiful colors of the leaves and the cool, crisp air.

I love zinnias. Do you save the flowers, dry them and use them for next year?

No, haven’t done that. Hubby just threw some seeds into the ground and this is what popped up. 🙂
