the garden

Wishing all who visit a Season of Love, Healing, and Joy.

December 8th

My weekend at Greenwood, following Thanksgiving
was mostly raw and wet
but there were several hours between rain squalls
i spent exploring.
Beneath a giant horse chestnut i found a
a cache of gold-bronze leaves lying across
a wide carpet of pachysandra
and moss
which has revived from the end of summer drought
back to a plump, moist carpet.

i gathered some holly berries
selected some of the larger chestnut leaves
and a large pachysandra pinwheel.
The knees of my pants were good and soaked by the time
i'd finished playing.

i've been "painting" again in Photoshop
this is the neighbor's garage (with clothes line)
and falling golden foliage of last month
