Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! And so I begin my quest to keep my hibiscus alive during the winter. This is the last bloom for a while. Of course, it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the pie...the making-of photo is better than the pie photo (pumpkin and apple with crumb topping)...Not insta worthy but tasty.

Fall in Minnesota

One nice thing about fall? I'm gathering lots of mulch for my garden. The Minnesota craziness is snow. Our area broke a record with October snowfall of over 7 inches! Now it is completely melted, though for a while it looked like it was here to stay. We even hauled out the snow blower to clear the driveway. This week I'll be working outside in 60+ F temperatures, finishing leaf removal, clearing dead annuals, and mulching perennials. 


I adhered to health department guidelines for Halloween. This is a table set up with bags of candy. The pieces of wood are to hold the candy and the table down because it's so windy. I'm not a great decorator, but I enjoyed my spooky eyes peering out from a spider web.
