Withering

We spent the afternoon doing yard work-- clearing away the dried lantana and crepe myrtles reaching too close to the house and phone lines. When it was time for a daylight savings time dinner, I noticed that my daffodil was withering away. I surrounded it with the camellias in full bloom and magnificent color.

I dreamed the other night about the Joel Dewberry Modern Meadow collection and what I might make from some of it. I've been looking at it's colors and designs online every day for a week.

Inside

This is the same daffodil that was seen earlier in the week opening and opened. Tuesday and Wednesday's rain knocked it down, so I cut it and brought it inside. As this week off from work and normal routines begins, I feel open and hopeful for the unscheduled days ahead of me.

November's Flower

The jack-o-lanterns are on the compost pile. The chocolate from last night is a constant temptation. November is finally here.

Happy All Saints' Day!

Pineapple Sage

salvia elegans

From our CSA basket, these small flowers are one of the prettiest reds I have ever seen.

Sunflowers

These little flowers are offering the only bit of sun around here.
For days and days, the rain and humidity in between the rain has been constant.

With a day off from work and more rain, I'm snuggling in with a cup of green tea and some knitting.
