Thanksgiving Rainbow

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue and Indigo

And Violet

All the colours of the rainbow are in the garden these days.  Autumn is full on, and my garden is quietly going to sleep for the winter.   I still need to cut some perennials down, and cover them in their beds of leaf mulch.  Go to sleep little plant, see you in the spring...hopefully.

Inside Stash Needle Art Lounge beautiful fall yarns are on display to tempt knitters and crocheters alike.  The classroom is bursting with students eager to learn to knit, to upgrade their skills, to learn something new and to just have a good time.

And at home - the work table is full of projects half done or near completion or waiting to be started in the same selection of fall colours reflected in the garden.  It's a good time of year.  The days are sunny and warm, the nights and mornings are cool.  Yesterday there was frost on the roof of the garage next door - a sure sign the next season is waiting in wings.  My lovely geraniums are crowded up against the back door under the eves of the house in hopes I can keep them alive and blooming a while longer.  If the nights get too cold, I'll start bringing them in, just to hold on to the colour a while longer.  But really, I can't save them in this climate...not all winter anyway.  It is too cold for too long, and the house is too warm.  I always try though.
This weekend if Thanksgiving Weekend in Canada - a time to be thankful for many things, and to celebrate the harvest and the change of seasons .  I do love Thanksgiving.  So, a happy one to you where ever you live.  The Turkey goes in the oven in the morning.  Cheers!
