November 6, 2025 🌱 We had our first frost this morning.
As the garden goes dormant for the winter, I will drop down to posting photos once a week. Daily garden photos will resume when the snowdrops emerge.

October 31, 2025 🌱 A fallen maple leaf snagged in the purpleleaf sand cherry.

October 30, 2025 🌱 A cozy corner of the garden. Mushroom log, bright red fallen leaves, fuzzy seeds, and some chocolate mint because why not.
The seeds are on a stem that the painters broke and left laying around. My best guess is frost aster, but none of my other frost aster is fuzzy like that.

October 29, 2025 🌱 Trumpet vine spilling over the top of the fence.
This side of the fence is deep shade. Trumpet vine likes full sun, so I’m not sure why it has put this much growth into such a spot. But I don’t mind.

October 23, 2025 🌱 There are two new branches on the wee snowberry bush.
The dark wood is old growth, and the lighter branches are new.
