The garden today

'


I think it is time to admit that it is fall, and that the summer we've been waiting for won't come this year. The days are wet and cool – not the sunny kind of fall, I picture in my mind when I hear the word.
In spite of the disappointing weather, the beauty is everywhere – you just have to bend your knees and back to see it.

Every morning you find the fairies' laundry spread on the ground – it's a wonder that it dries, but it obviously does as they remove it later in the morning.

While some flowers seem to have given up, others refuse to wilt just because the summer is over.
