November petunias...

11 November 2026: On my walks this week, the smell of spring flowers makes me feel such a range of emotions. The petunias on German Street are still doing their thing, even in (almost) mid-November. 

Their beauty feels even more fragile as each day goes by, even as they look so strong. I almost feel guilty--like a big hit is coming and they don't know it and I can't stop it.

This morning, I walked by, thought those big thoughts, stopped, turned around, and took this picture.

A kind of tribute, I guess.
