Unbelievably high temperature on November1. Our normal highs are what is predicted for Saturday. No complaints. We got to spend a pleasant evening in the sunroom. Not many more evenings there in the forecast.
Sitting on the bottom right of the photo was what I thought might have been a squirrel. When I moved closer to the window to see if I could get a better look, it turned out to be a hawk. It flew away into the woods.
Oak trees still holding onto their leaves
Plant identifier identified this red bush as a burning bush. We did not plant it. The Leaf Lady has a whole bunch of them along her fence line. Wind, bird, or animal reseeded it for us to enjoy
Forsythia leaves
Nasturtium
Cornflowers
and Cosmos still going strong
The Japanese maple hasn't lost all its leaves yet.
How does your garden grow?
Friday's wind brought down a lot of the oak leaves around my house, but there's still some. It was just gorgeous, and this morning it is really really chilly here. First frost for us, or at least first frost I've noticed.
ReplyDeleteWe had a first frost, too, this morning. At almost 9 am , the temperature is 35 oF. 🥶
DeleteThat Japanese maple is gorgeous! (I'm jealous....)
ReplyDeleteIt really is a beautiful tree. Thanks to my dad for starting a twig from the tree in his yard
DeleteThe trees seem to be hanging onto their leaves this year. I expect they'll all drop if we have a heavy frost.
ReplyDeleteWarmer than usual temps predicted for the next 10 days. Looks like the leaves will be hanging on
DeleteI don´t have a garden, but will come up with some nice pics from city trees soon. 2C / 35F right now, brrr....
ReplyDeleteJust like my weather right now.
DeleteWe received 2" of rain when we were expecting only a trace so no complaints here... except maybe the storm that came with it scared the Grandlittle who was spending the night with Granny. We were up late drinking tea and playing CandyLand by flashlight... then slept on a blow up mattress in the living room under a tent of sheets that Grandpa made for us.. I'm sure she still has visions of Grandpa out in the storm chasing pumpkins...lol Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteWe could use the rain. Awww, I hope she remembers camping out at Granny's. Sounds like it was a lot of fun.
