(It looks like the roses at the side of the house will be blooming into December again this year, too.) Today there was also this, on one of the dewdropped leaves of a cauliflower that seems to be still struggling to make a cauliflower (being my only cauliflower that made it even far enough to be visibly struggling to make a cauliflower):
