Last remnant of summer

Last year, this vine had one cluster of grapes. I wasn't too bothered as they were the most sour grapes.... ever. This year there are considerably more, so I'm not quite sure what to do with them, considering that they are very tart and NOT seedless.... blech. Last year the sweet red grape vine had tonnes, but this year some sort of dastardly creatures ate them ALL before I even had a chance to taste one. Same with the blackberries.... just gone. Oh well, c'est la vie.

The clematis was loaded with blooms this summer and then pffft... that was it. Quite a surprise on an October day to find this... one last late bloomer. Like it, clinging to the lingering sun and the last remnant of summer, I want to keep wearing flip flops, but the reality of fall keeps the boots ready and waiting.
