November Flowers

Is it mid-November already?  Then what's will all the flowers? Near the gazebo, roses still bloom. Granted, the gazebo probably sheltered them from the frost.



These yellow ones were tucked behind the rosemary.


The pasture is full of daisies. Shouldn't last week's frost have killed them?


This looks like a summer pasture. It can't be November 19, can it?


Well, there is one sign that winter is coming. . . .


I've never had roses and daisies and red holly berries all at once before. This has been a strange fall.

It has been a year of warmer than normal weather. We still haven't had frost in my yard. I've seen a light frost in some surrounding fields, but nothing here. I have flowers blooming also. Lucky you to have such pretty fresh roses to decorate your Thanksgiving table.

The library in Fincastle had irises in full bloom the other day. It is very strange weather.
