If it doesn't freeze, I might still have a few flowers, though they're slow to open in the cold weather, so might not be enough to do anything with. I'll also have a fresh batch of beeswax tapers, pumpkins on a stick, flowered gourds and the last of my bittersweet cutting. And since it's the Saturday before Halloween, I'll probably be in costume!

So in their absense, I've had a bit more time to work on autumn decor.
