The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain. ~
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow...and that's what we did today! Plenty of drizzle of varying degrees of vigor. Marianne and Kay settled down for lights testing and repair (see above) as did Terry, Marv, Dr. Gredler and Janice. Urban came in to do some pruning outside and accomplished some progress but this afterno
on was too damp. Dr. Gredler was out collecting leaves as Little Jerry and I did a "drive-thru" of the gardens to scope out his next pruning projects. We all ran for cover eventually. See below to the left for Janice and Dr. Gredler decorating an obelisk. Not the flat cart at the base which allows Doc to spin the obelisk as Janice applies the lights. Works well but can contribute to some motion sickness issues! Terry can be seen to the right engaged in the tedious activity of l
ights repair. Think about testing and repairing your 10 strands of lights for the tree and multiply that by 3,000 to get an idea of the process behind getting the show ready to go. Great day to be inside though. I was able to categorize many of my digital photos, work on presentations and other miscellaneous tasks. Even perennials going dormant, see wild ginger (
Asarum canadense) below, have their own beauty. Note the water urn (Japanese garden) at the bottom with various leaves and plenty of visual appeal. Happy Halloween!
Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter. ~Carol Bishop Hipps
