The cotoneaster hedge in the garden has been a beautiful red for almost a month. And these past two weeks, the current shrub by the address sign has had a lovely colouration that I find most fascinating!

Even our temperatures have been reasonable. Only two mornings with hard frosts back in early September and then the mildest of temperatures ever since. Granted, when it rained last weekend in Whitehorse, there was snow in the mountains around us.

We have started to clean up the gardens, but are really reluctant to get too carried away when there are still flowers to enjoy. They aren’t here for a long time so why chop them down just to get ready for winter? That will arrive when it does and if the flowers die then, well, spring clean up will be the next opportunity won’t it!
