The hostas in my front shade garden have been long gone and the area finally
cleared of leaves. My sun garden, behind my home, still has life. I had a
luncheon a week ago Monday, and for table center pieces, cut and arranged
roses from my garden. This is something I have never done before as I think
my flowers look better in the garden than what I do to them in arrangements.
But, I have roses blooming all around the garden, and thought I should use
them before a good freeze hit. Well, it's a week later, and the roses are
still blooming their heads off. To quote Vita Sackville-West, "we're drunk
on roses." And, it's not only roses still blooming. This morning on my way
out to work, I saw Bluets, Dalberg Daisies, Coreopsis, hardy Begonias, Gaura,
and one other plant but I cannot recall its name. It's Nov. 23rd!
So, we are still enjoying fall and would rather not think about the cold,
gray days ahead.
