The frost is on the fuchsia.

Our first snowfall for October 2017.  Winter forecast?  I hope not.  My begonia and fuchsia plants are both still blooming during the snowfall but this is truly the end of summer 2017.

I don't mind the snowy and rainy weather since today is jelly-making day.  It's finally time to do something with the grape juice and to make one of my favorite jams, Hot Pepper Jam.  It's so good on cornbread or as an appetizer on cream cheese with crackers.
