The image above is one that I took at a garden center many years ago. I thought it was a nice arrangement and the use and appearance of pumpkins this time of year is always nice (until squirrels or teenagers find them). We had some flurries today although nothing "stuck". It was windy and very frigid. Larry, Jerry, Marv, Terry, Rick and Tony braved the cold and accomplished a lot outside (debris clean-up, lights work, etc.). Aside from some hyacinth planting, Marianne and Janice worked on repairing lights which is vitally important before we take them outside. I'm working on the 2009 budget and have two talks this week that I need to finalize. Preparing the budget submission (which is a request) is always a juggling act of predicting needs, expenses and evaluating everything with an old-fashioned "reality check". The Grumpies hauled back benches, stored our terrace furniture, cut back roses, collected leaves and debris, brought in our fountain and otherwise had a super day. It's always nice to see a break room full of 20 people in the morning! My fall color shot of the day is below with the lovely Korean maple (
Acer pseudosieboldianum). What a great range of warm hues. Also a nice picture of our authentic Japanese contemplation structure or Machi-ai. The colorful tree is the fall color of the fullmoon maple (
Acer japonicum 'Aconitifolium').
