The Autumn Rose




Walks do the soul good
Reflecting on God's beauty
Lifts me to new heights

Shadows and sunlight
Lights and darks and shades of pink
Boast of God's glory

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!

Single Gerber Daisy


I have waited all summer for this pot full of green foliage to bloom.  And this morning I went outside to work in the garden and found this single Gerber daisy blooming. . .the first day of Autumn.  Ron nursed this plant through the winter knowing it was an annual but hoping that he could keep it alive.  Well, he succeeded.  It just waited to the very end to show her glory.  Don't know if Ron is going to try to nurse it again this winter.  Will wait and see.

~~~~~~

All this greenery
Lush and green the Gerber leaves
Waiting for a bloom

Waiting for a bloom
All the summer long I wait
And she blooms today

Proud as she can be
Vivid is the color red
So very pretty

The Glory of An Autumn Garden






But friendship is the breathing rose, 
with sweets in every fold.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

My favorite rose in the garden.  It's hardy and beautifully dainty at the same time.  It withstands the summer heat and the autumn chill.













The aster greets us as we pass 
With her faint smile 
Sarah Helen Power Whitman

Butterflies, bees and moths  in the garden.  Don't you just love it? And the Aster has become one of my favorite flowers




The burning bush is oh so lovely when it's color is brilliant red, but seeing her change so gloriously allows me to appreciate her even more for all the labor that goes into it. 


Earth laughs in flowers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson









This wee hibiscus is sheltered in the bushes and even now is budding again.  How I have come to love these creations.

I'd rather have roses on my table,
than diamonds on my neck.
tEmma Goldman

And that pretty much says it all!!!  Have a wonderful week and don't forget to give the Glory to God!

Bee In the Asters


Fall is just a few days away and so the bees are working even harder than they had all summer.  If there was one bee on this plant there was a dozen.  Not only that, but wee moths were also flitting among the blossoms.  Oh, the little things.

~~~~~~~

Bees in the asters
They know what's 'round the corner
Busy, busy bees

Busy are the moths
Preparing for what's to come
Flitting little moths

A time to prepare
So the asters offer all
And beauty besides

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!

Last Days of Summer


Autumn is knocking
Requesting entrance of you
Rapping at the door

Hearing the knocking
Summer wants to resist it
But knows it cannot

Autumn is rapping
Allowing Fall to enter
She makes her exit

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!
