   Oh mine were looking like that…until the aphids ate most of them…and then the frost. Oh! the early frost. The frost-kissed blossoms were really pretty on Saturday morning, but now they have turned completely black, like a Mount Everest climber’s frost-bitten toes. It is sad. Amputation is scheduled for Saturday.

   My flowers looked like that until we got 8″ of snow dumped on us Friday night. Ugh! Another Nebraska winter.

    LoL Zadge. Next time I get a weak Cosmos I will have to refer to it as a Bossy C.
