Day 160 ... will it make it?

****Sorry, I tried to post this several times and my 3G/4G connection would not let me post it.****
Thursday, September 17th, was day 160.  I am still seeing daily blooms and at the same time seeing seed pods continue to grow.  I woke up on day 161 to a very cold morning.  The fall equinox is on September 23rd and we are loosing our warm days quickly.  

Minnesota Cotton at 160 days

It is going to be nip and tuck to see actual cotton this year.  I am trying hard to be hopeful. This has been a difficult fall for hope but I keep reaching for it.
