Back in the Autumn Garden






Greetings!

Almost a year since I last posted on this blog...the wheel of the year turns fast... once again it is glorious Autumn, & I am very pleased to be here.

See how Holly waits to get my attention as I gaze up to admire the golden light?

I flirted with another blog for a while... I even tried having a business selling fibre arts supplies.... but when I come back to myself, it is always the trees & the garden that hold my heart & health...

So, here are a few images of how the enchanted Misty Mountain garden presents itself today...

I sat under this huge spreading Copper Beech this afternoon with Mr Treadwell on my lap, soaking warm sunshine into my skin...the tree dipped its branches & brushed my upturned face ever so gently... leathery leaves like old weathered palms caressing my cheeks....
And here is the guardian of Weeping Birch, ever watchful, still hiding under a mantle of gold...

My vegetable garden is enjoying a bumper crop of silky green Italian parsley this year. It loves the coffee grounds I have been fortunate enough to glean over the past few months. In the background, are shoots of new Broad Beans. I planted a red flowering variety this year, just to see what they're like. Naturally, there are self-sown Marigolds everywhere, & plastic bottles I cut down to protect seedlings are long outgrown... I really must tidy up a bit!

So there you are... and here I am..... back again...
Oh! & here is Mr Treadwell! The finest assistant a Marigold could ever find........
