A rose hip along the Shore Path in Bar HarborBeauty and promise amid the thorns and the fading leaves
How did it get to be Thursday?
Tuesday was spent to and fro and in Rhode Island with my Mom - out to lunch, grocery shopping and other errands with her.
Wednesday was one project after another inside the house - laundry, cleaning, sorting/tossing/recycling, number crunching and spreadsheet making.
Today was one project after another outside the house - yardwork in this unseasonably warm weather. Plus Chuck cleaned the gutters and got half the holiday lights up. (No they are not on yet!)
Apparently that’s how it got to be Thursday.
And next Thursday is Thanksgiving?
Already?
Time to stop and smell the roses - or, at the very least, admire the rose hips...

Hello! Your tweeting kept me from worrying ;)
My pony used to eat rose hips off the wild rose bushes in his paddock. I used to have to pick the thorns out of his muzzle.
absolutely beautiful photo!!

I never knew that's what a rosehip looked like. Beautiful. It resembles a small pomegranate. ;)
Hi DMM -
That's such a sweet and awful story all rolled into one!

Hi Gail -
Thank you!
Hi Irene -
You're right - I never noticed that before!

Hey hey - do you collect them to make Rosehip syrup?
And... I have always thought that they look like Medlars.. but Pomegranate works too
Hi Roo -
I never have made Rose Hip syrup nor the jelly.
I had to look up medlars. And then I learned another word: Bletting.
Thanks for the education!

I try my best ;o)
