Wordless Wednesday: November 5, 2014

The heavier the mists, the soggier the ground. The pond expands, the grass wavers between greening and yellowing and the tamarack needles are bright as pumpkins on a white porch. The crab apple outside my office window is full of autumn hues; it looks like my own burning bush with flaming leaves. The round red apples continue to delight dogs, horses and people and a creamy rose buds as if taunting snow-dusted peaks. Life on Elmira Pond in northern Idaho is colorful.

Flaming Crab Apple, Burning Bush

And Still There Are Apples

Almost a Rose in Winter

    1. The grass not knowing whether to go green or gold, I feel both energized and sleepy this time of year!

    1. Did you see Geoff's post on his UK November garden? He has flowers and roses blooming. Well, because of that, I thought I'd look--and there, buried beneath old stems was a bud. I love roses, too and live in fear that I'm going to kill them. :-) Never had much luck until I moved here. Hope it holds!
