Well, not a rose exactly....
But a few blooms I picked, expecting frost...but we still haven't had a killing frost. Snow, yes...twice.
On the morning of October 28, there was a white dusting all over. It melted off by noon, but it was the first snow.
On the 29th, things had melted and dried, and the leaves were perfect for a 'rustling' walk.
The last few days of October were very warm, and early in the morning of Oct. 31, the temperature was 17C.(63F) We had coffee on the verandah and watched the dawn light grow through the leafless branches.
Yesterday, the temperature dropped as the day progressed, and this morning there is a skiff of snow. The fire was lit, after a couple days of not even needing it.
A flock of wild turkeys has been hanging out around here. We have seen them several times here and there around the yard...The trail camera behind the barn captured them foraging. There is an apple tree there, with some fruit remaining, and also some oak trees with acorns, so food for them.
In between the ups and downs in the weather, I got to spend some time doing a bit of crafting. The pieces for this bag have been languishing on my table since early spring.
Pieces of old jeans and some pretty fabric from a thrift store made this draw-string project bag, with pockets all around.
The little fabric box holds clips contained, while doing future projects; the fabric bits and pieces matching the pin cushions I made previously.
