Seems like an eternity since the zinnias were blooming in late September!
This summer I saw far more butterflies (Monarchs and Black
Swallowtails) and bumblebees than usual. It was a good year for
pollinators at our farm.
Which of course means I couldn't help
taking LOTS of pictures. So I have some new photo notecards on display
at the Harlequin's Gardens Holiday sale which is going on today and the
next few weeks. Here is the link to the event times:https://
If
you've never been there I encourage you to check it out. It's very
peaceful and so wonderful to be surrounded with the beautiful things
there made by local artists.
I'll probably
be heading over there today in spite of the wind that makes me want to
just sit near the woodstove all day. They've got Celtic music starting
at 2. If you're looking for my notecards they are in the front area in a
long wicker basket. Friends tell me it's hard to spot since the display
is small.
I hope you've all had a good
Thanksgiving and are finding some cozy time during our January-like
season. This year I definitely did not follow my usual tradition of
planting the last bit of garlic on Thanksgiving morning! Since I sold
out of garlic very early at market (due to losing half of it due to a
weather event) I was able to start planting in late October and finish
between snowstorms. Phew!....
