Derelict Sunday Flower

This white cone flower has seen better days but I still liked the shape of it as it is ending its life. So Derelict Sunday has one more contribution! Is anyone even hosting DS any more?

It was a pleasant day of rest and time in the garden. I picked my Hydrangeas and will attempt to dry them for a winter bouquet.. ..sometimes I have good luck drying them and sometimes they just wilt; I heard that if I cut the stem so that I have some of the woody branch it will survive. I am giving it a try, but the branches are really long because the green stems are a long ways from the woody branch. Luckily I have a really tall vase and a space where I can enjoy the flowers while they dry. I also picked a bouquet of Black Eyed Susans, Lavender and Daphne before I picked the last of my second crop of raspberries. I am very pleased with the raspberries I have frozen this year. I will enjoy them throughout the winter in my cereal.

Thanks for visiting and for your kind comments. I have enjoyed some extended conversations I have had with a few of you lately. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions or asking question of me..... it is fun getting to know each other better.
