The last of November...
November 30, 2009
The garden is looking rather barren these days with the shortest day of the year creeping ever closer. The holiday was spent with family and friends
and there was even time for some tasks to be completed in the garden. All the birdbaths were turned upside down and the pots were covered or put away. The statuary made its' trip to the garage and the bulk of the leaves have been raked and added to compost heaps.
The grasses are still standing tall and looking quite seasonal. The hellebore which was budded up two weeks ago looks decidedly out of place in the barren border on the left side of the walkway.
It might go unnoticed if it bloomed during the height of the season but now, with browns and grays taking over the landscape, these pristine white flowers with their deep green skirts or leaves are quite satisfying.
