Late Perennials in Bloom


What a beautiful November day!
I voted last Tuesday, so didn't have to fight crowds at the polls.  Instead  I spent this morning out doors working in my garden.  The last of the perennials are still in bloom, the lemon verbena and mint have persisted even though we've had frost.  I pruned bushes, cut down the vines that climb on my trellis's, and as hard as it was, cut the remaining perennials, preparing for snow, coming this weekend.  As I dug around in the dirt and trimmed my herbs, I could almost smell their scent. 
 Heavenly.


I was able to bring the last of my herbs into my kitchen to enjoy. 
 Autumn has been glorious this year.
