First Snow

[wayfaringwordhack]

 A few outdoor photos to take my mind off the pain of impending infection blow-up.*

The potager is sleeping, but we have food out for our garden bird helpers:

 

 

 

The pond's first winter:

 

 

Lunaria (Honesty) pods:

 

 

Aren't those spindle berries gorgeous?

 

 

 

 

 

Deck the halls, or the hedges:

* Yeah I think Dentist Optimist did not call it, and I will probably end up having to go on antibiotics to kick the infection.

Ughh, I am so sorry :( :( Get them soon and KILL THAT THING.

The photos are beautiful. I love lunaria, have loved it since I was a kid. And the spindleberries and holly are marvelous.

Do you know in French it is commonly called "la monnaie du pape" (The pope's money/coins"). :D A lady who lived here about 15 years ago loved it and had it growing it everywhere. It has self-seeded itself around the wild hedge by the garden, and I collect seeds and try to spread the love even farther. :) Have you eaten it before? It is part of the brassica family, and everything from root to seeds is edible, albeit unusual in taste.

I had absolutely no idea it was edible! I will definitely try preparing various parts of it next year, as I've got a lot in my garden, too!

I love the photos! Ehh, and I hope the infection gets under control!

I am feeling better today, thanks to some essential oils and propolis, and this morning I started taking some grapefruit seed extract. Still hoping to beat it on my own. Silly me should have started all these measures as soon as he said I had an infection instead of waiting until I felt pain. :-/

And the robin card arrived the other day! Just as gorgeous and cheerful in person. I kept meaning to write and let you know. :P

Yeah, what they said - lovely images, hope that infection gets squashed ASAP.

Thanks. I am hanging in there. :P
