A November Day

I'm not much of a winter person, at least not
where I live at. In general the garden
is soggy - I don't do soggy.

This week isn't quite as soggy -
 You should have seen the rain on Thanksgiving, 
now that was soggy.
We are expecting sun off and on this week so
I am hopeful.

When I step out my front door and look to the right
this is the view. The tree isn't really pretty but
it is valuable to me as it provides a large
amount of shade. It is the only shade providing tree
in our yard.  That yellow/green in the background
is the raspberry plants - I quite like how 
they look at this time of year.


This tree, yes this tree is my prized tree.
It's a corkscrew willow that came from a tiny stick.
A stick that broke off, I popped it in water and years
later this is my reward.

Do you have plants/trees/shrubs that you started
and do they mean more to you than the others?
