Just a few days before Thanksgiving, a first hard freeze hit our area--very late for Southern Wisconsin. I clipped the last of the garden blooms before it hit and created an arrangement of Zinnias, Marigolds, and Lantanas, with a few spikes of Northern Sea Oats.
For staging, I placed pumpkins and pine cones around the base. (This didn't last long, because the cat tried to chew on the lot.)
The vase was saved one from a previous arrangement, which came with a matching autumnal saucer.

It's fading now, but it sure was nice to have cut flowers from the garden in late November.

I hope all who celebrated had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Blessings as we move through the busy holiday season ahead!
