In a vase on Monday: trees
In the kitchen window.
In November, I picked up a few acorns from the backyard that had begun to poke out little white roots. I balanced them over water in the tops of bottles and these two survived.
To see what other garden bloggers have put in vases today, please visit Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.

The castle still exists as a conference and events center. There are two shapes on the Google satellite map that could be the same yew.
