Blogtober, Day 21

 When I was outside this afternoon cutting away more tomato plants which had died in the recent freeze, I happened to glance over at the hibiscus bush.  Imagine my surprise when I noticed a bloom.  In mid October.  Crazy weather.  Hibiscus flowers bloom for only one or two days, so I think this one will be wilted by tomorrow morning.  But it was a treat for it to bloom so late in the season.

There were a few ripe red raspberries, but I didn't take a photo of them before I picked them off the bush and popped them in my mouth.  Yum!

We are supposed to have a bit of a freeze again tonight, so it will be interesting to check tomorrow for what plants have died and which ones have bloomed.
