Plants are still blooming and Caesar Pond is ice covered

Oh my goodness...I have never seen the Red Elderberry blooming in mid-November! Here are flower buds that are thinking of opening.

And, here is a gorgeous flower cluster. There is one other flower cluster on a different branch. There are no leaves on the branches except where the flowers are.

And, the Stella d'oro daylily is still trying to bloom. 

This is crazy! At the same time, Caesar Pond has had ice on it for two days in a row as the nighttime temperatures are below freezing. 

I love when the pond ices over and the sun's reflection is on the ice. We will probably see lots of thawing and freezing cycles until it finally freezes over for good, for the winter season, probably in January.
