Another image from the Cloisters in New York City. This interior space makes me feel so peaceful.

I saw this in the New York City Cloisters herb garden post below. The full name on the sign was “Horn of Plenty, Downy Thorn Apple, Datura metel (Solanaceae).” They say it is poisonous, but so lovely!

The Cloisters museum and gardens, the branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe, is in New York City. I was lucky enough to visit on a perfectly still and warm November afternoon. This area is a garden devoted to medicinal plants and herbs used in medieval times.

Not from this year’s garden, but it’s always good to see a rose in the rain, isn’t it?

The Pacific Northwest has many evergreens but also enough deciduous trees for a beautiful fall season. This was across from my house.

The weather has gotten too cold for this brugmansia (Angel’s Trumpet) plant to stay on the patio, so into the living room it has come until the warm weather returns. Every night the scent perfumes the entire house.

Went outside a couple of days ago and picked tomatoes and chard. Love this warm fall we are having.
