last of the ripe tomatoes picked in the greenhouse for dinner tonight. not bad though: 14 november! other unseasonal strangeness in the garden includes blooming honeysuckle; a slowly droning bumble bee (which our new pup, Izzy, a mini schnauzer chased, caught, and then released hastily); a flower bud on the water lily...
the photo (taken in october) shows the pup and the new pool that we made this summer. we dug a hole, lined it, filled it, waited, and then added plants. thanks to oliver schurmann of mount venus nursery who sold us the beautiful valentia stone to surround the pool and to steven canavan who laid it. the pool does what i'd hoped: brings some sky into an otherwise dark part of the garden, and provides yet another excuse to sit in the garden.
