October 14, 2012 -- pink flowers in bird's nest

What a fabulous weekend for gardening! Can't remember when I had more hours to devote to it all in one weekend. Such a luxury! This afternoon, after pulling weeds (if you call cutting down volunteer trees 15 feet tall "pulling weeds") I trolled the garden for pretty things to cut and wound up with a handfull of pink flowers--zinnias, mums, and snapdragons. I walked them into the house and found a spice jar to drop them into, but its glass surface seemed too "hard" for them. John had given me a bird's nest yesterday, so I wrapped the glass jar in the bird's nest.

There's also one old green hydrangea blossom in this.
