The season is turning

We ended up getting another 1.1 inches over night. Today the sun was trying to come out but struggled. I took a break around 10 and wandered around looking for subjects. I like the twisted, dried out petals of this old echinacea bloom.
It's now time to start the cleaning again to get things ready for Mom and Judy. I will pick them up on Friday. The weather isn't looking the greatest for their visit. Sigh...
