First Snow

 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.

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!
