All confused
Yesterday was a beautiful sunny, warm day here in West Tennessee. While I was out for an afternoon stroll, I noticed some wildflowers blooming that I don’t usually expect to see in November. The warm temperatures this autumn have them all confused. With a cold front rolling in this week, this is probably the last I’ll see of these pretty blooms for a while, but it was nice to have one last nice day to enjoy them.
