Charles Dickens wrote in ‘Great Expectations’, “Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.” When you live to love the garden, these magical pieces are fused together, like the image above of this colorful leaf resting on pine needles in the last bits of summer sunlight. Ah, yes, these seasonal changes we notice creeping in ever so slowly as we say goodbye to the summer garden.
Welcome fall, my favorite season but saying goodbye to summer, well, it is as J.M. Barrie once said in ‘Peter Pan’. “Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting.” Who can forget our summer gardens? Not me, not I, not saying goodbye. The summer garden cannot be forgotten if we planted it wisely. Now get out your rakes. Our fall gift-you guessed it. There will be plenty more leaves where this one came from. Just a couple days early but Happy Fall everyone.
