We’re experiencing
the first few days of truly cold weather for 2017.
I love the late autumn
weather – and the beauty of fall leaves and flowers! The emblematic bright yellow leaves
are almost gone now, but the last of the muted yellows and browns of the
ubiquitous sycamores are still clinging to trees that line many of our avenues
here in Montevideo.
Throughout the day, as we come and go, we enjoy the views from
both extremes of the long hall that divides the downstairs of this house almost
exactly in half.
Poinsettias
& bougainvillea!
The poinsettias,
greatly affected during last winter’s wind storms, are recovering nicely!
We’ve now harvested
all but the last dozen or so from the guava tree in the back yard, bringing
this year’s crop to over 400! I’ve quartered and then frozen most of the fruit
(for use in smoothies throughout the year) but may also try canning some jam (like we did two years ago).
About three dozen comprised yesterday’s
harvest!
