The Full, Hunter Moon, Rising Through Butterscotch-Hued Beech Leaves
Busy with end-of-season garden design work and autumn planting, I’ve had little time this month to write or update the site with photos. Hopefully, I’ll have a few moments to play catch up and share some ongoing projects and autumn scenes over the weekend.
And having lost all track of the celestial calendar, I was taken by surprise tonight —as if channeled straight from a forest fairytale— when I caught the full, Hunter Moon rising through the butterscotch-hued leaves of October. What a beautiful sight. I hope you are enjoying the beauty and warmth of these sweet autumn evenings . . .

A Soft, Snowy Farewell on the Last Day of February
A foot of new snow fell on the hilltop yesterday, coating the last morning of February in a blanket of soft white. With longer days and warmer temperatures ahead, there’s much to look forward to in March. But for now, there’s the beautiful stillness of my sleeping garden to enjoy at apricot-tinted dawn and smoky-pink sunset . . .
A Dramatic Season from Start to Finish . . .
Winter Still Holds the Garden Seat . . .
Laces the Treetops . . .
Blushes the Sky . . .
And Paints the View
February is the Shortest Month . . .
But She Always Seems to Linger the Longest . . .
Clinging with Chilly Fingers to the Hills

Hints of the Coming Season – Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) along the Green River
September… Still summer. Some days so hot and humid that the only relief is a trip to Green River. The water is low and the smooth rocks are hot beneath bare feet. I slip along the bank; verdant moss, flickering light and a blurred mosaic of algae-coated stones and silver fish. Still summer… But with hints of the coming season; crimson-tinted vines, gold-tipped ferns, and a surprise of blue asters amongst the greenery…
