    Well, it is fall but that is as close as this bouquet gets to being a fall bouquet. I went roaming thru the garden this afternoon, hoping to find something for the small vase next to my reading chair. I knew the Rosemary would be available, shoot I have enough Rosemary to fill a vase for everyone on my street that bush is sooo big.

    I also found that going dormant is not yet at the top of the "to do" list for my plants.

    Along with the Rosemary, there are Lemon Balm, Lavender stems, Mexican Mint Marigold and Zinnias. I have one more batch of candles to make today then tomorrow I will sit, read and enjoy my flowers.

    Oh gorgeous! I had a landscaping teacher who turned a rosemary into a bonsai, crazy!
    A few little bugs and this would be perfect for a still-life painting. Actually, it'd be a great photo framed up to keep your reading corner cheery all winter! Oops, rambling again, must be the rain :)

    How lucky you are to have blossoms in November!
    We have nothing :'(
    Expecting our first snow tomorrow night. At least that's what the weatherman warns.

    I have one flower left blooming in my garden and that is my Monkshood. It looked really sad last week with snow on it, but when the snow melted off it kept on blooming.
    I really miss having fresh flowers in the house.

    Toni what a lovely surprise it was to see your flowers. :-D I expected to see different coloured autumn leaves!! I also love the iridescent vase you have your beautiful bouquet in.

    Thanks everyone, glad you like the flowers in my peaceful place. :-D

    Eileen, that vase was yet another thrift store find. Come to think of it, I would guess that about half of the things we have in this house are from thrift stores.

    Toni, what a great arrangement!! You are indeed an artist. I have lots of flowers, but they are still growing in the ground. Gotta get some of them inside, so we can enjoy them.
