Winding Down

I’m letting all the flowers go to seed, hoping that next year’s patch will be lush with color. The orange is tithonia.

I was up at four this morning—it was bright in our room and I just thought it was daytime, but as I started to make coffee I got a glimpse of the clock on the stove:  4:00. I thought the power had gone out until I checked my phone. What the heck??! I tried to nap on the couch, but you know how that goes. Lots of time to do all the NYT puzzles. 

High today was 94.
