Nostalgia is a pleasant diversion, but don’t let it stop you from creating new memories. This time of year it is easy to start hunkering down by the fire.

First to fall…
Mature beauty: “She looked like autumn, when leaves turned and fruit ripened.” Sarah Addison Allen, Garden Spells. A volunteer Aspen in the backyard is already shedding leaves. The nearby birch is just starting. I am fortunate I don’t have all our neighbor’s maples…unless the wind changes direction. 🤔

Fall favors…
the garden is pretty much kaput…what roses have struggling buds will not see them bloom. Everything else is battered from heavy winds and rains…save the Fall flowering Clematis I introduced last year. It is a refreshing, if now somewhat limited, display of color when everything is gone or retreating.
