Make the days count

Yesterday was a gorgeous gift of a day, and probably the last dry one in Seattle for a long time to come. 

I got in some yard work, then gathered up this scrappy fall bouquet of odds and ends. In the mellow afternoon light, it looked like a Dutch master painting. 

 

And why wait for a cold, damp day in December for this chore? 

The new arbor isn't as tall as the old one, much less, crumbling to pieces, so the job was easier. I also put blinding white LED lights in the greenhouse window, so we are lit up like Las Vegas when we eat our dinner in the kitchen. Let's just call it cheerful. 

That's about all the November news.
