The holly is dark when the rose briar blooms…

My Peace Rose is putting on one final show as we head into winter.
The photo above was taken on Thursday. We’re still under freeze warnings at night, so, I cut the rose and put it in a vase inside of my fall basket. If you look close, you can see a few raindrops on the petals.
Head over to Today’s Flowers to see more blooms from around the world!
We all live under the same sky, but we don’t all have the same horizon.

A cloudless afternoon view of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the North Carolina side. This could be the last of the photos of trees with leaves. Today’s forecast is warning of heavy rains, wind and plunging temperatures.
For more SkyWatch photos from around the world, be sure to visit SkyWatch Friday.
The color and texture of the bark on this tree stopped me in my tracks. I don’t know what kind it is, the closest I could find was a young poplar tree. If you recognize it, please let me know.
The fall leaves have been sparse this year. The maples across the street are dropping their leaves almost faster than they can change color. The really odd thing is, the red maples and the silver maples are all the same color as the sugar maples this time. Too much rain? Not enough rain? I decided I’d better get a photo while I still had the chance.
Next up is a little pumpkin that I crocheted using a pattern that June Gilbank – at PlanetJune – graciously shared with her readers several years ago. (Thank you, June!) I meant to turn it into a Halloween pumpkin but I keep forgetting to pick up some felt to make the eyes and mouth.
Last, but not least, are a pair of slipper socks I made over the weekend. For the life of me, I can not remember where I found the pattern. As soon as I find the bookmark, I will give credit where due. Please pretend to ignore the dog hair…
