We waited until it snowed to pick these Brussels sprouts. We planted them very late in the season, so it was a bonus to get anything at all. The biggest is about the size of my thumbnail, which I neglected to put in the frame for a sense of scale...
We had our first 'real' snow this weekend. Not that much, the National Weather Service says 3 inches. The first snow is often magical - it clings to everything, turning the world into a faery's dreamland!
It stuck! That's how we say that the snow didn't melt. All the tree branches are covered with snow and it looks beautiful. Of course that means the sidewalks are icy, which is less wonderful, but it's kind of Zen when you think of it.
It's Friday, when many photo bloggers post photos of their skies. Visit Skywatch Friday to see what other people saw in their skies!
My wife likes to let a few milkweed plants grow for the butterflies to eat. At the end of their growing season, the seed pods burst open revealing scores of seeds. Each one has its own fluffy sail, ready to go out into the world and make a mark. And maybe feed some butterflies.
The weather has been so mild this year that the hydrangea has started budding. Again. I'm seriously thinking of cutting it back because I fear this growth will draw strength from the plant - strength it needs to survive the coming winter.
Each month, on the first, the City Daily Photo blogs simultaneously post a photograph that expresses a common theme. This month, the theme is waiting.
