For Nov 5th in this area, these beautiful flowers are quite unusual. While taking my dog for a walk I couldn't help but think how warm a fall we had had and what a long season for these lovely red Geraniums.

It's like the Flowers are giving it one last powerful bloom before the hard frost.

Just one day later the temperature hit 24 degrees and so now everything is pretty well frozen.

The day time temps have still been getting well up in the 60 degrees. Maybe we will have a mild winter or maybe we will have a later winter that lasts long into spring. We will just have to Waite and see.

This tall grass was standing so pretty in the lowering west sunlight, I just had to take a picture.

As I have been slowly working at reading through the Bible, I remember just reading about Grass. In Psalm 103 verse 15 - 18 it says, As for man his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.

We worked diligently to clear the vines and frozen plants from our garden and tilled in a bunch of chopped leaves from the yard. They should decay and make the soil rich and ready for spring planting.

The far western part of our garden still has collard greens and kale so we have left that until the hardest of frost. Hopefully we will still get several meals of fresh greens from these plants.
