I love Saturdays in November because I can actually see the gardens. I only catch glimpses during the week, but darkness surrounds the gardens more frequently.

Today I discovered a few things in my gardens. I hadn't realized the oak leaf
hydrangeas were so beautiful . This is the first year the leaves have changed in such a lovely way.

I also hadn't realized some trees were completely bare of leaves.


But I know where the leaves are now.

The surprise of the day was the Olympiad rose which
is still blooming and providing a picturesque photo image on this day in November. I can't believe the frost, rain, and wind didn't do it in!
