Seasonal decorations from physalis seed heads......


thought they would make a change from the usual pumpkins and cobwebs!



and the odd pumpkin ...very pretty and thinking we might make some soup with them.


Our weekend has been foggy, we had a bbq last night with friends and today has been a 
lazy day of tv catch up and reading library books.
How's your weekend going?

    I grew those Chinese lLanterns in my garden many years ago. I used them as a decoration in a vase. I thought they were so pretty.

    We had a very quiet weekend and now I'm waiting for visitors from the north of our province.

    Oooops! My first comment went away. Anyway, we are packing and organizing as we leave early in the morning.
    Butternut squash makes good soup, too. One of my book club ladies made some for us and it was creamy and good.
    I hope your week perks along nicely and you are able to take a woodland walk or two! (BIG HUG!)

    Love the physalis wreath. Simple yet really effective. A bit like my mindset at the moment! I've had a completely self-indulgent weekend because I decided it was time to start saying 'no' and apart from a couple of persistent phone calls yesterday, I almost got away with it too! All systems go from now until my Mother moves on 4th December so I'm taking the chances while the going's good! What ya reading?

    I love Chinese lanterns. We've tried numerous times to grow them but they don't like our soil.

    One of my brigade of chefs would refer to physalis as "syphilis", very embarrassing when he was phoning through our veg order! xxx

    Ohhhh I love Chinese lanterns-- they look beautiful in your wreath.. I saw some lovely "fake" ones at the craft store. I regret that I didn't buy them...

    I'd love to wish you a lovely holiday season-- and the happiest of New Year beginnings...
    Love
    Vicki
