photos taken October 28th 2023 of snow dusted crab apples, fallen leaves, and lavender scrub.

This week the snow has arrived! at least for a brief visit, along with the cold that didn’t seem quite real last week.  We got enough to blanket things, but the temperature’s rising already, so we’ll see what next week brings.

Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years still has suggestions of flowers, along with pretty autumn colors for the barberry bush that still haven’t quite shown up yet this year.  Half the trees and shrubs are still half-green, but it’s always hard to sort what timing on the foliage is usual or not.

Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years shows things toning down somewhat, even if one or two hardy flowers might linger.  It’s getting time for the garden to go to sleep.
