This was the edge of the woods on one side of the shade and woodland gardens early on this spring. I hadn’t even made my garden lanterns red yet.

This was today:

Hello late fall! I am but an observer as I wait for knee surgery, but I still love my garden in all of her seasons.

The last photo is our carved owl, the surprise of our wood’s edge. What else do you do after you have to bring down a 320 foot red oak stretching perilously over a good percentage of your home? This owl was carved by local artist Marty Long. He’s amazing!

Happy almost Thanskgiving!
