Fall Basket

I have been enjoying working around the gardens cutting back perennials and annuals that soon will be gone with a hard frost. I gathered these colorful stems from millet, crepe myrtle, burning bush, fire bush and dill and to make this arrangement in one of my favorite baskets. The gourd was dried several years ago. Together they make a colorful fall arrangement and will be a nice welcome to friends and trick or treaters (well, maybe their parents!).
