November Sunshine

We are blessed with warm sunny days. Tomatoes keep ripening ,although the recent rain and cool nights make them crack. The cosmos and zinnias just don't want to stop blooming. I harvested several pounds of Jerusalem Artichokes. Want any? The pineapple sage with its lipstick flowers is attracting audacious hummingbirds who hover next to me when I sit under it to meditate. The most fun, however is the stevia plant. I harvested enough for sweetening tea over the winter and spring but left several branches to flower. The bees alight on the flowers at the tips and the bouncing begins. The whole plant appears to be moving. Who knew that bees carried such weight!
Thank you mother nature for your abundance and beauty.
