A Lucky Break With This Weather

Today was another pleasant day and we accomplished a lot of work with a small crew. Nice shot to the left of the fall color of the golden Boston ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata 'Fenway Gold'). This should get more red soon but I like the current pink overtones. Janice worked on lights and garden clean-up today while we were again fortunate to have Kay here to continue working in our color rooms garden which is a huge space to clear and tidy up. She is truly a "keeper". Dr. Gredler was on the mower all day mulching more leaves. Hopefully all leaves will be down soon! Little Jerry worked most of the day in the main parking lot cutting back various shrubs and collecting debris. Larry worked on putting up a major display and push mowed. I ran about 3,000 feet of cords today which put a nice dent in this overall task. Nice shot to the right of one of the golden variegated yuccas (Yucca filamentosa) that look great even thru the winter. We still have a very full week as we continue to prepare for the holiday lights show and finish up garden clean-up. We hope to finish our bulb planting tomorrow too! Nice shot directly below of the fall color of the oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia). The bottom photo shows some of my handiwork which would be appreciated by Clark Griswold.
