Early in the month, I still had flowers to enjoy. It wasn't very warm, but many of my flowers didn't care. They enjoyed the cool weather, and put out fresh blooms. There were even a few butterflies hanging around!
But then the hard frosts arrived. The flowers weren't impressed, but the foliage began to put on a show.
Soon, it got colder still. The trees were mostly bare. Finally there was only these last few flowers.
At the end of it all, I know the pear tree will finally put on a last hurrah. Then I know you're really gone. We had an extra nice visit this year, didn't we? I'll miss you till next year! Tell your brother Winter to be gentle on us this year, would you please?
