Conundrum

It's cold, but it's sunny.  The leaves are falling, but the flowers are still blooming.  It's October, I'm in a conundrum, do I rake the leaves or water the flowers?  Do I wear sandals or wear sandals with socks?  Basically, I'm just not ready to make that season change over yet.  Summer winds and hot weather come back. 

A fall pumpkin sits on the porch with my summer geraniums.

Just like wearing sandals with my socks on in the autumn leaves.

The summer flowers will fade away slowly, or get buried in autumn leaves.
