"Cornstalks from last summer's garden now lean toward the kitchen window, and the November wind goes through them in a shudder. Their thin tassels spread out beseeching fingers, and their long bleached blades flutter like ragged clothing."
- Rachel Peden
Hasn't this been a good autumn season? Yes, we do have about three more weeks of autumn, however, it is time to cast aside those cornstalks to the pasture, this the last day of November 2011.... make preparations for new "decos". Christmas decorations are all around. Passed a house last week and OH MY ... the house lights, the blow-up decos, the wooden reindeer .... it was just gorgeous. What is your favorite outdoor Christmastime decoration? I like LIGHTS, yes, lights are my favorite. The more lights, more "bling", the better.
I wonder how daylilies could be incorporated into Christmas decorations? I see bushes covered with colored lights, trees strung with strands of lights, not sure how our wonderful daylilies could shine. Or maybe, daylilies should be left resting, preparing for their show in the spring and summer. Yes, that is it. Daylilies are taking their restful time to rejuvenate.
Hope you find time to take a moment to rest and reflect. Think of pleasant thoughts from the past and think of a plan for the future.
Hope you have a good day and until next time, Happy Gardening.
