Here we are, entering the last official week of summer. Only 6 more days left! Most people have already moved on from summer. Welcoming cooler weather. Decorating for fall. Harvesting what's left of the garden. I'm also accepting what can't be avoided.

The cosmos are still so full of life. But it's time to start collecting their seeds to save for next year. Every year I vow to plant more cosmos. And I do, I always plant more, plotting out more and more space for them with each passing year. They're my tried and true flower. They never fail me. If I could have a whole lawn filled with flowers it would be overflowing with cosmos. They're definitely one of my faves. Although, if you know me well,  there's a good chance I've said that about most flowers...ha ha. :)
