and thus work ends for the year....

The mild weather kept work going for a long time...Lack of frost meant cosmos kept blooming into late November. Finally we had to pull them, still slightly blooming, out of the old boat at Time Enough Books at the Port of Ilwaco in order to plant the last batch of narcissi.
Even after the storm, we found beauties in the garden as we made our last visit of the season to each.
Climbing roses and a standard Fairy
rose still bloomed in mid-December as
did a Kisses series Penstemon!
Once we had the summer plants cleaned up out of the boat, Time Enough Books decorated the garden area for the holidays. Did I mention that when Mary visited, we learned that their logo of an hourglass and broken spectacles are from the classic Twilight Zone episode in which a man who loves to read thinks he will finally have time after an apocalyptic event...then, while he’s sitting on library stairs surrounded by books, his glasses fall and break! That’s the ultimate horror story.
