Last Leaves

The chocolate Rodgersia has reached the end of the road - here it is just before I chopped it down and put the foliage into the compost.

But it will be back in April, and I'll be looking for those little scarlet cones pushing through the soil.  Roll on spring.

We had our flu jabs this afternoon. Needles seem to be a lot sharper these days. The nurse couldn't find the puncture to stick the plaster on.
And I hardly felt a thing.
