It's November in Michigan. These photos were taken this week.When I was a little girl, we often had our first snow by Halloween, and our first real snow storm by Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is next week, the 22nd. Today it's 60°F (15°C). But it could still snow next week.
Last year Don planted an English garden, with a few digitalis plants. We also call them "foxgloves" in the U.S. They kind of look like gloves, don't you think?
Medicines from digitalis are called "Digitalin," used for cardiac help to control the heart rate for patients in artrial fibrillation.
But if you eat it, it is toxic and will cause vomiting and diarrhea. Believe it or not, some people do eat it to keep their weight down.
