Unexpected Pleasures

It's supposed to hit 70 today and I don't mind a bit. It goes without saying that 70 at the end of October isn't the norm, but I'll take it. It seems as thought it's been cold and rainy this month and I've heard the word snow in the forecast a couple of times, so a brief reprieve is in order. I know it won't be long before there's snow on the ground, and I have this feeling that this winter is going to be a doozy.

As we were starting to clean out the garden last weekend, I came across this lettuce that I'd let go to seed and stay in the garden all summer. I'm now glad that I did as it continued to provide some really lovely greenery in the garden right up through these recent frosts. The leaves are quite tall, better than knee high, and the green-purple combination is eye-popping. Sometimes it's the unplanned, unforeseen things that make me happiest.
