The Last of November

Echinacea purpurea in the Hill Garden

Seed heads of Allium tuberosum

Papery Allium tuberosum seed heads glowing in the morning light on our Hill Garden.

An Allium tuberosum silhouette. This photo is in the same spot, but just after the sun has risen in the sky for a late fall day.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you are all warmed by good food, good friends and a bit of bright sunshine today!

The last remnants of autumn...

My kids tramping through the hay and corn maze this autumn.

The last bulbs and Hellebores are in the ground, the kitchen is full of squash from the farm market, and there is a turkey taking up most of the space in my refrigerator. Our annual "Christmas tree cutting" is quickly approaching on our calender.  The end of November is truly here.

And yet... I remember a sunny day walking through the corn maze following two confident little girl leaders, who needed some help getting back to the car. :)
