November picture thread!
It's a particularly dreary month up here so I thought it might be nice to see some of pictures of how your month is going! I don't have many so far.
My husband indulged my obsession with charcuterie plates by putting this dinner together for us. It was delightful! The pink stuff is beet hummus.
My puppy before and after getting groomed. We laughed so much when she pranced out with her new hairdo.

Comments (24)We were in one of the harder hit areas in last week's storm, so our Thanksgiving was snowy and without power or phone at our house, but happily my inlaws' power was restored part way through the morning. We had trees down on power lines and in the road, and even one power pole broken by a tree further down the road. From Thanksgiving 2014 Here is the way the dogwood outside the kitchen window looked at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon. From Thanksgiving 2014 And here it is Thanksgiving morning, bent down to perhaps 4'. Happily the branches weren't much damaged when I released them, though between this storm and the one at Halloween two years ago, this tree is rather misshapen by now. From Thanksgiving 2014 The lilacs looked fairly similar, but had a lot of broken branches as well. From Thanksgiving 2014 Despite the problems caused by the weight of the snow, there were spots of beauty as well. The red maples looked like some type of unusual weeping tree From Thanksgiving 2014 and the sunlight creeping onto the trees along the riverbank was lovely.

Comments (13)Nice, franeli. The berries are really striking once the leaves drop - your garden is way further into fall than my MA garden is. The foliage is changing rapidly here. This is my stone wall garden on a cloudy misty day. The Itea and cotoneaster are quickly developing their fall color. I'm photographing them expecting any day that the leaves will suddenly drop and the color will be gone. Itea virginica Henry's Garnet Just beginning to emerge from the cotoneasters is one of two little dwarf conifers (Pinus sylvestris Albyn's Prostrate) which is obscured by asters and iris earlier in the season. I have three little conifers in there, including a Bosnian pine cultivar, and I'm hoping that they will give a much stronger presence when they get a little bigger. Climbing up the porch is a Rose Zepherine Drouhin which has a couple of blooms on it. From the porch I can see the roses with a backdrop of itea and hydrangea color.

Comments (11)Yesterday I wasn't able to get photos to load, but here is our first snow of the year. It was supposed to be just rain, but we got both more precipitation than expected and colder temperatures, so some of it came down as snow late afternoon. It made a messy commute since it wasn't predicted. Like a couple of others, my Iberis/perennial candytuft is still blooming, even after a couple of nights in the lower 20's and the heavy, wet snow. Magnolia 'Leonard Messel' is a three season plant in my garden, with spring flowers, fall color, and huge silver buds on gray branches all winter. Since it's in a perennial bed with lots of more interesting flowers and foliage during late spring and summer, it is just part of the background in warm weather. Here it is last week before the high winds stripped it of foliage. Prior to this rich chestnut color, it was a beautiful clear yellow for a couple of weeks when nothing but Fothergilla, dogwood, beech, and oak still had foliage color....See MoreShow us Your Gardens - A photo thread - November 2019
Comments (33)I did the vehicle full of plants last time I moved, but that was just across town. I don’t know what I will do this time. Maybe I will move the plants and let a moving company take care of everything else. ;>\. Or perhaps just order tons of new plants when I move. :>) It will likely be at least a couple of years before I leave - I am committed to staying a minimum of a year and may stay until I hit 65, depending on what happens with housing and health insurance. My job may be portable, especially since I can work remotely if the internet connection is good, and my boss spends time in WI not far from my family, so it may be doable. My sister is retired but her spouse is still working and we haven’t made any decisions on where we want to land in the final consideration. I feel no need to make decisions now. I will definitely continue posting regardless of when and where I end up. DH wasn’t into holidays as different from other days, so I don’t anticipate feelings of loss will be any different than other days, and those ebb and flow. Taking things a day at a time. I did get all the grassy fields mowed this year, and planted and harvested a fair amount of veggies, though because I wasn’t around in September I didn’t get the final harvest in before our early frost. I converted all heat to propane rather than wood (I don’t use a chainsaw), so that reduces the work load as well. While DH was sick, I found someone to mow the lawns, and he has continued that for me. So the work is manageable solo and I can stay as long as I want. But as I continue to age, the likelihood of serious health issues increases and I would prefer being near family for that as well as ongoing support and interaction going both ways. I can’t imagine not having a garden of some sort as long as I am not bedridden!...See More

7 years agoI can't believe it is mid-November and I still am picking fresh tomatoes and other veggies from the garden. Here is some of my haul fro. The past few days. Not even all the peppers or herbs. And the Smokey haze cooperated so I could get a decent photo of the big Super Moon last night.
And my Confederate Rose which always blooms in the fall. Almost seems out of place to be blooming pink this time of year.

7 years agoroarah, such an adorable photo. My mom always gave me the green light in the kitchen and she was also a good teacher.
This past weekend I attended a 3-day workshop at a diocesan retreat just outside of Healdsburg, about 15 miles from where I live. It was a much welcome balm.
And my buddy Zephyr

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoWe always give my dog a treat after we brush her. She's learned that if she walks outside and rolls around in the dead grass that she will get brushed and get a treat. She is now rolling around in the grass and trotting inside for a treat multiple times a day. LOVE all the pictures.

7 years agod_gw I hope your dog never teaches mine any tricks - I can totally picture mine doing the same thing! I give her treats for fetching so now she finds toys in the house and spits them out ostentatiously at my feet.

My son came home last night for Thanksgiving. Please don't mind the rug/lovesac combo. The rug is a placeholder and the LoveSac is non negotiable.
My dog's breeder had puppies.....Fighting temptation to add to the family.
This fun shelf was once a drying rack at a toy factory in Maine (supposedly...). I found it in this fun shop in town yesterday. I'm currently messing around with accessorizing it. They had some gorgeous pieces and I'm going to talk to them about a mantle for our NH house and rehabbing an old bench I have.

We went to see Stevie Nicks solo with The Pretenders as an opening act. Awesome, and I highly recommend if they are coming your way. Both ladies look and sound great.
Here Chrissie joins Stevie for a song. I won't say which to avoid spoilers. Not the greatest photo. Seems none of mine came out good despite good seats.

November will be the last month we have this dear one in our home. We have been fostering him for over a year and he will be moving in with his adoptive family soon. Our hearts will be sore but also joyful knowing he will be raised with love and care. Sweet snuggles while we have them.

We babysat a foster pitbull for the past few days and she and Penny got along very well. She was a gorgeous girl but so high energy she wore us all out including Penny.
