Quiet change

Readers, just make allowance: Fall garden-keeping is undramatic, and on the drab side, image-wise. On the other hand, it is restful: sometimes the plants seem as ready for dormancy as we are.

On the other hand, there is always beauty for those who look. Thank you for seeing!

Grateful for the light: looks like a work day!

Greenhouse sadly neglected, including this drought-damaged Rosemary

But it takes so little to restore healthy life!

Hateful job, clearing tomato vines, untangling ties & trellises, row by row…

… the reward: somehow this Monarch chrysalis avoided being trampled during a long tomato season

One of my best Squash seasons ever, ends honorably for the stout, productive vines.

Daisies in November… strange but still lovely…

….and not a yard away, Queen Anne’s own pattern of fading loveliness
