Settling in, winter’s coming

It was only a few weeks ago that a friend and I went to Stillwater (MN) to do some late season leaf peeping.

The river was so high!

We did some walking around by the shops and then we wrapped up with dinner at a cafe on the river.  It was a full moon and made for a great view!

This past Friday, after a pretty decent snow, brisk winds and cool temps gave us a “feels like” temperature of 6° F.  There’s not going to be much sitting outside on the patio for a while 😉

The scarecrow picks froze into the ground.  One of them is so solidly frozen that I just left it out there.  The wooden pumpkins are now in, as is the concrete bird bath.  The sedum are frozen.  Good luck to the birds in harvesting those seeds.  I’m sure they will find a way.

But there is a serenity about the landscape when it is snow covered, and I really enjoy that.

I don’t right now, and probably won’t for months, have lots to post from the garden.  But when I catch something special, or if we get a particularly pretty snow like this past Friday, I will share.

Yes, that chair still needs to come in.
