It has been cold this November. With all the heavy rains the leaves have really all fallen off the trees except my Serviceberry shrubs. It is a sad transition and I really don't like the day after Thanksgiving to New Years eve. Wish I could go to sleep and wake up then.

Our leaves are still green, which is also a little odd, but I know the bare trees are coming. I will have to admire the sky like you.

The walk around Lake Michigan looks lovely. Autumn walks are so invigorating! It's the perfect weather for hearty soups, especially when you get to add your home grown herbs!

Such a nice lesson in positive thinking. I froze some of my herbs, too -- sage, basil, rosemary. But. . . I didn't freeze them separately first, so I may have just big old clumps! :( Live and learn!<br />Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09147413132595250490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-56780290967852306972017-11-10T12:37:08.175-08:002017-11-10T12:37:08.175-08:00I need to do something with my herbs before it fre...I need to do something with my herbs before it freezes here.

That is a lovely way to look at the bare trees of winter. I am going to try and keep that in mind this winter when I look out and get the winter blues :) I enjoy added herbs to bouquets, they add filler, a touch of green and a lovely aroma. That's pretty hard to beat, right? Here's wishing you a marvelous weekend . . . bundle up and enjoy.<br />Connie :) Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-52466791082239273082017-11-09T22:51:46.316-08:002017-11-09T22:51:46.316-08:00Good for you preserving those herbs!

Freezers are pretty darned full right now, so I'm not sure what I'll do!! I've been sending home soups and sauces with Sweetie to put in his pretty much empty freezers since mine are busting at the seams!
