I find gardening a restorative, relaxing and reviving experience ... food for my soul. I appreciate almost every minute I'm out in the garden ... well not when I find something flattened by a wallaby or completely destroyed by a gigantic grasshopper ... but you know what I mean!

It is so good to be home. So much has been planted and next Spring should be what I visualize. All the cuttings I brought from the city garden - made it. I still come to the big city monthly and maybe we will still meet :)One Woman's Journey - a journal being written from Woodhaven - her cottage in the woods.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12548226150115102345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-73565924709157661282010-10-14T16:28:00.207-05:002010-10-14T16:28:00.207-05:00I love fall, nature may be going to bed, but it is...I love fall, nature may be going to bed, but it is invigorating to me.

It has happened to me too. Lovely lovely photos of your garden!! I am crazy about the skipper one with your blue bottles in the background. My, you already have great fall colors down . . . I am sure with the storm coming our colors will fall. I am going out to enjoy them now.

I usually don't buy much candy, but I succumbed recently! ;-) <br /><br />They have little sayings inside: The first one I ate said, "Take a moment to appreciate the brilliance of Autumn colors." The second said, "Sit in your yard and watch the leaves fall." And the third? Press your favorite leaves inside a book."<br /><br />Now that I've read your post, I believe I'd better find time tomorrow to sit outdoors in the backyard! :-) hugs!Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-6490844804862178212010-10-13T18:21:25.206-05:002010-10-13T18:21:25.206-05:00Sorry that's me (delete comments)I kept hittin...Sorry that's me (delete comments)I kept hitting publish because it wasn't doing so.<br />But then I saw them all.<br />Did'nt know it could do that.<br /><br />Anyway...<br />You are one inspiring writer.<br />You lift me up.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834331771109216377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-32678248765429941262010-10-13T15:24:34.892-05:002010-10-13T15:24:34.892-05:00Such a beautiful post, Gail, and well worth rememb...Such a beautiful post, Gail, and well worth remembering!

A writer I sat next to in my newspaper days, once told me after he lost a long piece he had just written, that he would just do it again. And that it would take less time this second time around and be a better piece of work as a result. He was right. So actually you had a win win day!LINDA from EACH LITTLE WORLDhttp://eachlittleworld.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-65445970804259275082010-10-13T08:34:13.820-05:002010-10-13T08:34:13.820-05:00This is why I love this time of year so much.

You have to be quiet and still to hear the life in the garden. It is easy to absorb when you slow enough to feel it.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-4406821240901070822010-10-13T08:20:00.905-05:002010-10-13T08:20:00.905-05:00Ginny, You would think a bench would be a non iss...Ginny, You would think a bench would be a non issue!
