Yesterday I went outside to bring in all the plants that needed to come in ahead of the arctic weather we’re having right now, and took a few minutes to enjoy the bright sunshine and the last, last flowers blooming.

Small magenta/red and purple hardy fuchsia flowers still blooming in mid-November.

I took this photo because of the pretty center that looks a bit like a baby bird beak, and only realized when I reviewed the photo in my computer that there was a baby slug taking a drink!
