A patch of Black-eyed Susan blossoms signals late summer to me with all their sunny faces and they will have to get through some hot summer days this weekend.

After another morning chilly start of seeing the white coating of snow, it may be hard to remember that in six months, the Black-eyed Susans will be adding its bright yellow color to the landscape again.

The flowers are soaking up some of the sun’s rays before the possible frost tonight and freeze tomorrow night.

A carpet of yellow black-eyed susans is a sure sign of summer, although towards the end of summer where as the daisies signal the start of summer.

The birds were enjoying an above freezing morning as they picked at the Black-eyed Susan dried flower heads eating seeds. The flower stems bent under the weight of the birds as the junco, goldfinch and redpoll consumed their breakfast.

Today was another cloudy winter day below freezing and it would be nice to see a little more color outside. These bright, cheery flowers were taken on July 17 and six months later, just the brown seed heads remain poking up through the snow.

On a hot day, the Black-eyed Susans still gave off a warm, glowing look even as the sun was setting.

It was another gray day, with even a light coating of snow overnight, so it wasn’t a bright or colorful Sunday. It will be six months before these sunny flowers provide some bright yellow in my yard.
