averygoodun42Fungi on a felled tree:
Bark:
Fire:
Hydrangeas:
Morning frost:
A lone rose the morning of the frost:
New Year's Fire (taken by Geoff):
And a nifty shot Geoff took... probably of one of the numerous candles we lit New Years:
We were supposed to have a gathering around a bonfire on New Year's Eve, but one thing and another added up to a drizzly, tired evening that Geoff and I didn't even see out. However, my dad's penchent for fire made sure that there was a small blaze going on New Year's day. Which, as it turned out, was very fortunate, because just as dusk was darkening, the power went out. Boy, was my mum glad that she hadn't gone out to get the New Year's turkey! So, instead, when dinner time came around, my dad and Geoff stuck three sweet potatoes into the embers, and half an hour later we had dinner (the perfectly cooked sweet potatoes, cold leftover pot roast, salad and... somethine else?) on the table. The power came back on just after we sat down.

Date: 2008-01-12 10:24 am (UTC)A power cut on New Year's Eve sounds potentially quite annoying... having a fire seems to have been a very good idea. :-D

Date: 2008-01-13 03:01 am (UTC)Hydrangeas are nifty shrubs. When they're blooming, the blossoms range in color from white to deep purple, though blue-violet seems to be the preferred shade. The color, I think, mostly depends upon the acidity in the soil. Anyway, the flowers can be cut and dried beautifully or left on the bush to provide winter interest, as my mum has done. Granted, there are enough blossoms to do both, should you wish.
It could have been very annoying, actually. Fortunately, we were all flexible, and everything worked out just swimmingly. ;-)
