This week with the rain and wind, I wondered what I would find to feature. The answer was in the kitchen – a bunch of persimmons ripening indoors. Now I realize I’m featuring garden persimmons quite a lot, but I’m coming into a major scrounge time of year in the garden. I feel lucky that the squirrels didn’t decimate the crop this year. And that the color is versatile enough to complement the faux copper patina of the vessel.

Hydrangea, rose hips, persimmon, twigs and branches, billy balls leftover from another arrangement.
