November is Native American Heritage Month, so our thumbnail for the month is Apache Tears.
This will be a busy month for me. I'll be planting at least 16 roses in the garden and I'll also be digging up many small roses to move into pots. Some of those are temperamental and will be easier to coddle when they're in containers, and others are so small that they get lost in the landscape.
I hope to get that done in the first half of this month because I'm probably going to have cataract surgery sometime in the second half of this month. The post-op recovery will entail about a week of virtual inactivity: no bending over or lifting heavy objects, which will be impossible unless I stay inside.
