We had an unexpected move at the end of October, required by a local ordinance to set my Potting Shed 50 feet back from the water. My photos have been waiting in the wings with the holidays stacked up, and with the fact that I prefer to share photos of something pretty or delicious, and this…
I feathered my nest, aka Potting Shed, with some fresh winter nesting materials~ clearing away the Christmas tartan, leaving the pine cones and cutting some fresh sprigs of fragrant pine.

For raking leaves :)…
