Who have thought it? Yesterday Sylvia picked a double handful of raspberries. (Yes, they were very tasty.) That is probably even more surprising than roses in November.

| Roses still bloom as November is here |
Yesterday, we spent some time draining garden hoses and preparing garden spaces for winter. Despite all that, some us don’t want summer to end. That includes this beauty:

| And it still looks so fresh |
And out in the yard there are other blossoms. Like this one:

The tractor is still in the shop. The corn harvest is going full tilt around here and equipment will break. The agricultural equipment has a higher priority. That’s okay with me. It’s a family’s income and it’s our food that should be more important than me being able to finally till my garden space for next year. Nevertheless, it is frustrating that it has been over a month since I’ve had the use of my tractor for more than a couple of hours.
Rain is forecast for the next couple of days. Hopefully, that will allow the mechanics to finish work on my tractor. We’ll see . . .
Comments
Several of you answer the comments on your blogs with your own comments. I have not been doing that. I’m going to try to follow the example of my good friends that do.
Vanilla – You are quite a bit south of us here in west Michigan. I'm surprised that the roses are in such good condition, but they are sheltered by the house.
Ron – I certainly found it surprising.
Pricilla – Just got word that they have another part to replace. But soon . . .
Shark – Rained here too. The berries grow against the south wall of the barn. I'm sure that helps.
Rebecca – Rained yesterday and this morning. The sun is now playing peekaboo behind the clouds.
Just beautiful! It will be in the 70's today. The geese are still speeding south, though….
Berries seem really surprising! I also need to get my hoses put away. It sure poured here today.
Ooooh, sorry about the tractor. That is a bummer.
Hubby just bought himself a little John Deere. He now feels like a true farmer.
heh
I love late garden surprises
Springtime in the fall! Who would of thunk it! 🙂
Take care and have a nice day 🙂
And thanks for your recent comment on My Blog
I really, really like roses in November; and we still have some, too. You have shown us a fine example of the beauty of the rose!
