Life is full of little pleasures and joys if only we take the time to pay attention to them. As I was walking my backyard in the freezing cold, thinking about all the leaves I’ve got pick up & shred with the mower and plants that need cutting back, I noticed that one of my camellias still had lots of blooms and even some buds.
Fresh cut flowers on a gloomy cold day would brighten any interior.

Free fresh cut flowers from my own garden (in November) on a tray that I made only makes it better!
Objects are concealed from our view, not so much because they are out of the course of our visual ray as because we do not bring our minds and eyes to bear on them….

What a nice gift from your garden! Very pretty.
Flowers from your garden in November!? You lucky duck! All is brown and dead here at the cottage. Ah well, I’m used to it, fortunately I can enjoy yours :>)
How beautiful! I still have roses on my Knockouts. Don’t know how much longer they will last though because it’s really cold here too.
They look lovely, Manuela! Almost as if they don’t realize it is the end of November. : )
Those are beautiful! I have some too that I need to bring inside:) Have a blessed evening dear Manuela, HUGS!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful flowers with us.
I need to do a major cleanup in the courtyard now – the last of the blooms froze and are a wet mess.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
I love camellias, Manuela, and yours are gorgeous!
Oh, I can’t believe you still have pretty blooms! It just makes your home that much prettier.

Such a beautiful array of flowers. I love the color in your living room with these flowers…and on a pretty tray too! 🙂

I love camellias so much and yours are gorgeous in your home!
I did love having flowers during the winter when we lived in Southern California–our red-orange Ole rose was a Christmas staple. Now that we are in a four-season climate I can reliably decorate for Halloween with withered, dried blooms…no more roses in December. But we can look forward to snowflakes–so it’s a good trade!
Love, love that quote at the end. Thoreau is one of my favorites. I also love your camellias. We have white ones here, and I’ve been admiring the gorgeous blooms of the pink lawns in the neighborhood.
I do believe I”ll bring in some white ones like you did. It will be just the perfect thing for today.
They are amazing! Do they have a scent? The color is gorgeous.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Those are beautiful!
Everything in our yard has been either frozen or blown away from the storms and tornadoes that went through weekend before last.
Your camellias are beautiful, how wonderful to have them blooming on your coffee table now. I love your colourful room, I can’t get enough of colour!!!
