All week I have been marveling at these rose hips, mostly at the fact that
somehow, this rosebush still has green leaves, the only green in a garden
now turned brown and grey.
It’s almost like the leaves have been freeze dried.
All week I’ve been meaning to get out there for a photo, and this morning I donned my winter garb and marched through the several inches of snow we now have to finally take a picture. As I stood there, my mockingbird friend came and landed just to my left, for a breakfast of rose hips and winter green.
Then I understood.
He has enchanted this patch, his own bright spot of everyday magic.
And I was enchanted by the fact that he landed just three feet from my arm. Then again, it was a very cold night and he is probably very hungry.
I took some photos of him but they are nothing special,
too many branches in the way.
But the moment, that was special. Another gift from my garden.
A gem.
November really is the color of gratitude.

We had a bit of a disaster at our show this weekend, our tent collapsed overnight Friday night and we’re still not exactly sure why, we had it weighted down as always, and as far as we know there were no high winds. But somehow, when we arrived at the show Saturday morning, our tent looked like this:
Fortunately, with the help of our neighbors, we were able to get things righted and go on with the show, though our tent is permanently damaged.
Thanks so much to the people who helped us, and for everyone who came out to see us at the show. It was certainly a memorable one!
This morning the air is chilly, and I can feel autumn creeping in. Some leaves are shifting color, and the nights have been cooler, even as the days stay warm.
And so it goes, another show, another obstacle, another season. Life circles and cycles and some days you just have to laugh at the things that get thrown in your path. And soldier on.
It’s always something, and life has a strange sense of humor.
At least we never get bored.
Today is going to be red hot, and tomorrow, cool and rainy.
But I am ready for the show, finally,
and the weather is beyond my control.
These black-eyed-susans have been the stars
of my garden this year, and how can you
not smile at their happy faces?
Looking forward to seeing a sea of faces this weekend, too.

The lazy days of summer give way
to the crazy days of September
and already my shoulders grow tight.
Deep breaths.
Open.
Raise my face to the sun.
Ah, yes.
That’s better.

I don’t remember ever having poppies in August before.
It’s been a cool, wet summer, and my garden is happy.
Which makes me happy.
Of course, it makes the weeds happy, too.
Such is life.

Wishing you a weekend filled with happy.
