Autumn Montauk Daisy

Montauk Daisies spread like weeds. And mine all look very unruly. This one I moved last spring. It's the first time I've seen this magnificent autumn color. None of the rest of them looked this good.

Early Bloomer

The first of the Montauk Daises are open and in a few days the small bushes will be covered with white flowers. I didn't know until today they were part of the Chrysanthemum family. They are usually the last flowers to bloom in my yard. They'll have flowers till the end of October.

I haven't been feeling my usual chipper self these past few days. Mostly, I'm just feeling down.

I think part of it is the political climate of this mid-term election. There's a lot of mean spiritedness and raw hatred, especially here in New York.

I don't know, I have a doctor's appointment for blood work on Monday and a visit for a check-up at the end of the week. I'll see if my diabetes has anything to do with my mood.

Today post is my 501^st. Wow. Thanks for visiting.
