The air is crisp,
and wet...
the garden is quiet...
are you ready for a final garden stroll of fall...
a blanket of leaves is quickly falling,
the trees nearly bare...
and the flowers are few...
still they are surprises...
like a handful of Cone Flowers,
shooting out of the already dead stocks...
It is time for Dahlias to shine...
the wet cold days have revived the Hardy Fuchsias,
they look like a breath of spring...
the Hummingbirds are delighted...
a Pumpkin nests
in the last Geranium blooms...
the Beauty Berry
shows she is best of season...
tiny last blooms of the Ballerina Rose,
take a final twirl...
and turn quickly to fruit...
other Roses
try to bloom with the best intentions,
but they are tired...
I gather the seasons final bouquet...
Some blooms perfect,
others tattered,
each treasured...
Goodnite Garden
today am joining...
and
Thanks for strolling with me today...
