zinnia

We had a snowfall - over 10 centimeters and it lasted a couple of days, but we didn't have a frost. (There will probably be one tonight. ) So some late annuals emerged out of the snow untouched. Here is this bright zinnia that survived the storm. It gives me hope. If it can weather a snow storm and still stand unscathed, then I can, too. I went out late today and picked the remaining flowers so I can enjoy their last few days in the house.
