Fading.
As summer fades to fall and fall approaches winter,
I want to enjoy the gifts of the garden
one final time.
A rescued beauty. I call her Louise.
Louise and her beloved, Charlie. Also a rescue.
Clematis Jackmanii rambling up the arbor
Charlie framing pink peony.
Angelique
Easter morning
A summer bed
Dahlia
My favorite garden ornament
Heat seekers
A rose from my daughter. "Peace" (I think)
Woodland garden
Kitty love
Lovely lupines
Peony
A gifted iris
The spring garden
The summer garden
The sanctuary
Early mornings with God
Fall's bounty
Pumpkin time.
I seem to appreciate the gifts of the garden more in the fall, since I know I won't be seeing them thru the long cold winter.And really my roses look better now-they suffered in our summer heat and drought.
ReplyDeleteYour foundling Louise is a lovely thing! I have a few ideas about her potential identity ... modern hybrid tea, for certain ... perhaps one of the popular ones like Mr. Lincoln or Chryler Imperial? Those were planted by the millions in gardens in the 50s and 60s. Hard to tell from what I see here, but it may be a start for you.
