The gentle hues of autumn, arguably the most divine palette of all. Calming, serene, reminding me to take my energy inward, down into my roots, just as they do now. Thank you to the plants; what an abundance of unending gifts.
This is it for fall cleanup in this garden (I have only edited out the"weeds"). The rest will be left so we can enjoy this dynamic piece of art as it changes with the seasons. We will watch the ice and snow play upon the shapes, and watch the colours fade into mystical winter grays. The birds and other wildlife will find refuge and forage, the eggs laid upon the stems and leaves will remain to see through their births, their lives, their contribution to the web of life that makes this beautiful world what it is. This is the fragile web that supports our ability to survive on this precious planet, that keeps all the cycles intact and functioning.
