Hanging onto summer

We have a volunteer pumpkin plant by our front porch. It looks like the seed came from a small white pumpkin we had last year. They are really cute - and little but I don't think they're going to make it. - Actually it snowed pretty much all day yesterday, so now I know they won't make it - I did manage to snap some photos of our pumpkin before I picked it.

Dennis and Haden got me a couple of roses for Mother's day and they have been blooming like crazy all summer!  They're still full of buds, but ummmm, SNOW!  Yep, we had snow - October 12th - that's the earliest we've ever had snow.

One of our little potted flowers on the back patio where I spent most of the summer blogging.

There're some flowers in the woods across from our house too.

Well, there isn't now, but there was last month when I snapped these.

And many kinds of fungus.

Doesn't this look like some sort of sea coral?

I see this as a spiral staircase.

A bugle. Wonder what sound it would make.

An orange on a stem?

A Ferris wheel for ants.

And a fairy's umbrella.
