Snow

After WAY too much rain....snow.  
Wet snow.
Snow with no sign of stopping.
I hate to complain.
So I won't.
(But I'd like to.)

Nature's Pallette--Rich and Wonderful

 I'm not sure it gets any more beautiful than this!
 Just luxurious in its red...

 ...and in the back, close to our sun porch, this bush sports blue berries.
 I'm not sure I noticed the berries before...Wonder what kind of bush it is?
Oh, the gorgeous display just outside our windows!
November's palette - rich and wonderful...

November Chores and More

 The frost was on the "pumpkins" this morning...
 not as bad as Sunday morning though.
Saturday evening we had some help.  Ten young men
for whom we were providing dinner grabbed items in our yard
and brought them to this general area.
My husband will sort and stack and eventually cover it all with a tarp.
The men saved us many, many steps!
 This sedum plays watchdog over the pile 
while the mums just keep on  beautifying our flower beds,
undaunted by the frost.
 I couldn't resist this last picture.  The sight was too incredible to me...
I think I'm correct in calling the bush a viburnum.
