The little pond, standing lifeless and wilted.
The Winter takes its toll.
But when the Spring comes in, the blooms are tilted
From the weight and beauty of opened flowers, when I stoll.
PS. There is a difference in the seasons, but each of them brings something new to the nature.

Thank-you! I’m still working on planting those daffodils bulbs, lol. Maybe I should just lop off the top of the mole tunnels and drop them in.

I like both views, too. I guess if the garden was always blooming we might get tired of it. I think a big part of why we pay attention to the seasons is because we know it is all temporary. Human beings are such funny creatures. (I’m in the shop at the computer and I just heard a woman, who was hurrying by, say, “It is snowing.” Well, turn, turn, turn, right?

So right! I feel the countdown after the fourth of July. Really though, snow?! Do you normally get snow in Illinois before Halloween?

No, sometimes we don’t get snow until January. It was raining when I came inside at 4:30 and the day was warm. I worked outside all afternoon. The woman and her companion were coming from the martini bar next door…..it must have snowed just for a minute or two.

We’ve had the rare snowstorm in October and usually some snow by November. January and February are the worst.

It is a nice comparison, the land is having a well earned rest, I also love the fall and winter in order to plan for the next spring. Though I often remind myself to live in the moment 🙂 But this year the fall has been exceptionally beautiful here in West Cork.

I love to plan for next year’s gardens too. I start planting seeds indoors in February. ‘Living in the moment’ … something I have been trying to do as well. It was never something that came naturally to me but I am finding that life has been offering a crash course on it the last few years, lol.
