Sunday Stroll - Bejeweled


When we step into the garden on this first Sunday in October,
we will find autumn clinging to every leaf and flower.




Night rain will linger in the garden
long past noon.


The world will glisten beneath
skies of mist and shadow.


The fragrances of earth and harvest




will weave through the garden,
inviting us to stay.


When at last we go indoors,
we will sip warm mugs of tea
and look through the windows at
the comfortable beauty of October.



Wherever you are, whatever the weather, I wish you comfort and joy.

You found some lovely treats. I like to harvest a few rose hips for tea.My nasturtiums had terrible germination, I really enjoy them too.

Lovely photos! Thanks for sharing.

Steve, This rose bush hardly makes hips, but I have my eye on a Rosa Rugosa at the local nursery which makes HUGE lovely orange hips. I am teaching a class there later this month, and we always barter so I am hoping to be paid with that rose. :)

Cat Lover, Thank you for your visit and your nice comment! :)
