Still Life With Broccoli and Flowers

My daughter-in-law managed to find all these flowers in our late fall garden! She has an eye for gathering and arranging, that’s for sure—I told her there wasn’t anything out there and she came back with a bouquet. The rest of it is part of our late Thanksgiving dinner. I never did get a picture of all the people who were here; I’m surprised I remembered to take any shots at all. The food was good, the company even better. We all had a great time, in part because of my granddaughter’s after dinner question: So, how did each of you end up in Santa Cruz?
