'So hard to realize November is here -- especially when the weather is warm (mid-sixties through last Saturday) and the bright turquoise sky forms a gorgeous backdrop for all the foliage that has been dawdling in changing and swirling to the ground.
Our young peach tree has finally decided fall's here and she has donned tri-colored leaves; however, our snowball bush (which is so overgrown it can hardly be called a "bush"! But it's so grand and beautiful in bloom that we can't bear pruning it back just yet.) is just beginning to show its deep auburn though its summer green has drained underneath. Today its hues are more freakish than lovely as they sport deep auburn-almost maroon outer leaves topping a startling neon lime undershade. (I suppose I'd have to chat this one over with Ma Nature, as it's definitely not a combination I'd ever have tried.)
The night skies have been bold and clear, with constellations standing tall and bright across their deep navy backdrop. That is, until this evening: tonight there will be no moon or stars, for a thick blanket of soft cloud has stretched itself from mountain to lake horizons and does not appear to be in a hurry to cross the peaks. (ratz! I was getting used to our delay in cold, icy roads and windowshields, and white stuff covering our world.)
