Mother Nature continues with her mood swings. Last weekend was cold and rainy, but by the start of the week it was warming up again.
It wasn’t quite summer like, but definitely spring vibes – but by Wednesday I was eating a handful of raspberries that managed to ripen.
All the mums in the porch boxes were blooming again.
As was the Lavender Butterfly bush. And check this out…
The Pussy Willow bush has catkins!
I got pictures of a starling in the neighbour’s tree, and it looks like it’s budding up again!
I potted up a bunch of Dwarf Irises for a spring display.. and they’ve already started sprouting!
Did we skip winter all together… and head right into spring?
Well… no. Because BAM! Thursday morning we woke up to snow. It wasn’t sticking, and it was mixed with rain. But it was still snow. Yesterday rained a bone-chilling rain all day. So I suspect the real cold stuff is just around the corner.
That said…
These guys are still standing…. They look cold and little sad…. but they aren’t dead yet!

Unreal. Pussy willows! In November! And all of those blooms still. Wow! We’ve definitely turned a corner and I think the warm weather is over for the season here. It’s been in the 20’s at night and I don’t like it at all? 40’s & 50’s for sleeping is perfection. 60’s and 70’s during the day. I think I need to find a new place to live. I wonder what fits those exact requirements? 🙂
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy

We have had the most beautiful fall and there are quite a few plants still blooming. There are even azaleas in bloom but a cold front came thru and overnight temperatures really dropped.

It will be a beautiful showing of flowers right up to the cover of snow!

That’s just crazy! I’ve got some impatiens and marigolds that are still hanging in there for color. The marigolds look better than they did all summer. It’s cooled off but no snow. Just cold rain this week.
