Garden Tuesday: Leaves Hanging On

Well, despite the fact that there are a bucketload of leaves down, and all of them have migrated to right outside my garage door, some are still hanging on.  I really like this dogwood which just isn't going to give up.

 The burning bushes in our walled garden are losing the battle, but very gracefully.

Shannon and Chris were visiting a couple of weekends back, at the same time Jeff was here.  Of course, talk turned to Thanksgiving.  Part of the conversation:

Chris: In the next few years, there will get to be more of us, and we will need 3 turkeys.  I vote that we deep fry one of them:

Jeff:  Oh, yeah!  I'm with you there.

Dearly Beloved: Guys, that's how people set their porches and houses on fire.

Chris: Oh, don't worry.

Jeff: We'll do it outside.

Chris: I'm an engineer.  I will engineer this project.  It'll be great.

And so begins the Thanksgiving planning.  Happy Tuesday, everyone!
