One week before Thanksgiving and the lilac is still blooming

More blooms have emerged since I posted the lilac photo on November 11. This is the third time the bush has bloomed this year. My climbing clematis has also started budding again. The high temp today was 64F and there's a thunderstorm passing over the house while I'm typing this post. Strange days, indeed.

4. Although he's since somewhat redeemed himself, Michael Steele

first used that simplistic slogan at the 2008 Republican National Convention. Sarah Palin further popularized it and here we are. Ignorance is killing us.

2. Wow! Love the colors--they're nothing like fall colors. Such brilliance and vibrancy!

5. Thanks!

Unfortunately, this is a spring-blooming plant that bloomed a second time in the summer and is now blooming in the fall when it should be leafless and dormant.

11. Yeah, last night and this morning it finally turned into November here. Cold and rainy.

8. I am in Michigan and still have roses blooming.

There are also some red ones in bud on the east side of the house. I'm going to cut them and see if they will bloom.

10. Nice shot. I'm in southeastern PA.

My roses are finished but the clematis has fresh buds.
