Dried zinnias and seeds
*
It looks like we will be getting our first overnight frost later this week.
Over the past month I have watched my new garden begin its slow pull back into winter dormancy. It is as beautiful and captivating a process to watch as the bloom on the other side of the calendar.
Last bursts of color from the cosmos, dahlias, coneflowers, and foxglove.
Final waves from the last tall blooms in the lilies and hostas.
A glorious shout from the red leaves blanketing the dogwoods.
In this newly quiet garden I will rake, mulch, and prune.
Time to plan for next year.
