Kale in the fall garden

"It takes a calender one damp day to declare fall,
weeks of dying mums to second the motion."

winter loveliness

This is my winter song to you ...

the storm is coming soon,

it rolls in from the sea ...

Is love alive?

From Winter Song, by Ingrid Michaelson

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?" - Marianne Williamson

"Show me your garden and I shall tell you who you are." Alfred Austin (1857-1929)
