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.
The Pristine Rose is showing off.
More beds getting ready to be covered with snow.

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.

Gode efterårs billeder.
ReplyDeleteHvor er den lille Egern sød.
Tak for kigget.
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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what blogging is about, letting us see your world thru your eyes.
ReplyDeleteLove your view of life :-) I would probably never have seen that if you didn't show it to me.
ReplyDeleteIt really does look like a heart! We could only wish that it was that color throughout the growing season.

I can see your heart is in the garden. What a lovely place to be.
ReplyDeleteHey, hey! Thank you so much for the fun get together! I blogged about you. :)) And, there's a little goodie in the mail, on it's way to Hot Springs. Wonderful to see you again!
ReplyDeleteHi 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!
ReplyDeleteLandbohaven - Thank you -I added the translator now to my blog - I looked up your nice comment:Good autumn pictures. Where is the little squirrel cute. Thanks for looking
ReplyDeleteMy husbands grandparents came from Denmark
Landbohaven, thank you so much for visiting - I was able to translate: I just came across your blog. Good pictures. How do you have a beautiful garden. Thanks for looking.
ReplyDeleteHi Laurrie- Thank you! Do you have a favorite red rose? I have a spot for one more rose
ReplyDeleteLisa, thank you - I do love this little tree
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea, thank you for your kind words!
ReplyDeleteGloria, I enjoyed the heart (and Ted's wit), but my favorite thing in this post was that gorgeous pink rose. -Jean
ReplyDeleteI 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)
