Everything Was Damp and Gray

December 1st, 2011

Everything was damp and gray in the moment between fall’s rich color and winter’s severe elegance.

Robin Mather from The Feast Nearby

This week has pretty much summed up this quote, it’s been raining, and raining, and raining some more. Then it turned to damp snow and ice, and then more snow. Lots of wet weather to signal that change between fall and winter.

I still love how interesting everything is in the garden this time of year. And now that I’m feeling better I was inspired to throw on my wellies and get out to get a few photos of the garden before the big snows arrive. Here’s what I saw in my garden on Monday.






I can tell that winter is fighting with fall and it will soon win. The air is starting to get the crispness to it and there’s a noticeable lack of smell when you go outside, except for the faint scent of woodsmoke.

Has winter arrived in your garden yet? What weather predominates for you right now?
