Last day of 2023


Milkweed pods and seeds ready to scatter  and plant themselves


 


Some of the old ornaments


 

Warmer day


 


Just when it seems like Winter is forever.......


 

Winter has fallen!

Most of the peach tree leaves have fallen straight down without changing color.


Hiding in the leaves



 The temperature fell to 17 overnight. The rhododendon is a good weather gauge - it really shrivels in the cold.



The first snow has fallen. As usual, I'm in the middle of an indigo dyeing project. The cold complicates this a little - mostly it's just less pleasant to work outdoors.


There are still dozens of daffodil bulbs to plant. Winter is beautiful, but I'm just not ready yet.
