Goodnight...my love.

Today dawned, windy and raw.  A cold mist settled over the garden, leaves danced across my shoes.  The last roses of summer sway with the cold wind.  It's time for my "heaven on earth" to bid farewell.  Faith allows  me to be assured..that there will be a rebirth of the this precious place...not only in my garden, but also of man.

Just one more day, and we will fade.

Oh, I am still as lovely now as in June.

I will stand tall during the long cold months ahead.

Magnolia vine seed pods are ready to harvest.

The Japanese Maple is vibrant in red and orange.

Yes, it's time for sleep.

and always remember...
