We’re due for a hard frost tonight, so I guess the garden season is at an end. Goodbye my lovelies. 🌱

A deep pink rose (Brindabella Purple Prince) blooms in the garden with deep purple blue salvia (Blue bedder) and small pink zinnias. A warm pink, very full rose (Savannah) blooming in my November garden. Pink roses and tall blue ageratum bloom amidst fallen leaves in the fall garden. A pink dahlia with yellow markings blooms in my garden.

Gibby attended his first adoption event today at a Pride festival. He was the only one of our fosters that we sent because Gibby loves meeting people. I was told he did great! Maybe he’ll even get an application. 🤞🏻

more roses you might not recognize as roses. Darlow’s enigma on the left is extremely fragrant. the yellow rose on the right is Tottering Gently By.

I swear our foster kitten Gilbert (aka Gibby the Goober) was an orange cat in a previous life and someone neglected to do a factory reset.

This rose is having a moment. It is either Apricot Candy or Peach Melba. They are planted near each other and in the same color family so I’m not positive. 🌱

clusters of loose, soft apricot roses bloom in the garden along with some fading white asters.

I was glancing through upcoming events at the local library (as one does) and this caught my eye. Given how far in advance they plan these thing… it has to be a coincidence

If your cold, they’re cold…

They look cold, and bored, and they probably aren’t getting paid anytime soon.

more late october garden pics. 🌱
Rosemantic Red, a rich red rose with very full blooms starting to open in my October garden. A garden pic with a single yellow dahlia in the foreground and pink and red roses blooming behind it. Cornelia, a hybrid musk rose with small warm pink semi double blooms. It is surrounded by deep pink buds with a gray fence in the background. a garden pic with pink and white Zinnias in the foreground, spiky blue salvia in the mid-ground and a black and white tuxedo kitty peaking through in the back.

Some October roses to interrupt your justifiably ragey doomscrolling. Roses are ID’d in the Alt text.
Jacques Cartier - A medium pink very full rose with a button eye blooms in my October garden. It is exceptionally fragrant. Apricot Candy. Picture shows multiple blooms of sunlit deep apricot rose blooming in my October garden. Clotilde Soupert. An heirloom rose with very full shell pink blooms blooms against a back drop of blue ageratum. Crazy Love- An orange yellow blend hybrid tea rose with a classic spiral form blooms in my October garden.

Dragged @xoofxos.bsky.social out into nature this morning to recharge our batteries. Went hiking at the JugBay Wetlands Sanctuary along the Patuxent River.
