Can You See The Fall Heart?

A few days ago the garden had a light freeze, but the garden color remains. I cannot remember not having a killing garden frost by this time in October. We are loving it.

As I snapped some of what will be the last pictures of the summer of 2011, this bed reminded me of rumpled, unmade bed. The blankets crumpled up and tossed this way and that.

This Amur Maple is the heart of the garden.  Here let me show it to you the way I see it.

See the heart. Ted says that sometimes I am a half-a-bubble-out-of-level.

  2. I do see the heart, half a bubble out of level. The picture of the fiery maple and the still pond and the fading fall garden is lovely.

  3. The color (and the shape) of the maple is just gorgeous. I love maples at their peak color change. As for a rumpled bed, your garden looks very much better than the beds I make up in the morning, especially as Jack Frost has already paid his first visit.

  4. That is exactly what blogging is about, letting us see your world thru your eyes.

  5. Love your view of life :-) I would probably never have seen that if you didn't show it to me.

  6. It really does look like a heart! We could only wish that it was that color throughout the growing season.

  9. Hi Gloria, i am sorry i haven't been here often, as the feeds don't show in my inbox. Kate just showed a lovely post about your hospitality and your garden. I saw your lovely and spacious kitchen and i can even smell the delicious aroma from your cooking. Your garden is so wide and is always an envy like the vegies. How wonderful it is to be at home most of the time. And yes i see the heart, a generous heart because it is pink!

  15. Gloria, I enjoyed the heart (and Ted's wit), but my favorite thing in this post was that gorgeous pink rose. -Jean

  16. I like the analogy of the unmade bed, but don't think your garden is at that point yet, from what I can see. Of course, an unmade bed can have visual appeal, just like your tipsy photo. ;o)
