The season is really shifting now.... the mornings are covered in silvery frost.... little is left blooming. But these incredible dahlias continue to astound me with their lavender brilliance! And I rather like the crinkly look of dried leaves...
I think many things are more beautiful (or at least as beautiful) when they start to fade- what would we do without the brilliant colors of autumn trees, the whirly, golden seed pods of clematis... the feeling that it is ok to finally take a rest.
I am looking forward to a winter of extreme coziness! (Just have to finish planting the hundreds of bulbs for next year's cutting garden first!) Then it's off to curl up with a cup of tea, a good book, and Eli's warm arms...
