The Changing of the Seasons<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hear the sounds of the geese out my writing room window.<\/p>\n

They are flying overhead , a sure sign that Fall is on it’s way and soon winter will follow.<\/p>\n

It’s Autumn on the calendar but the temperatures say summer for sure.<\/p>\n

I look out to see my summer deep, pink petunias still smiling at me in full bloom. She is so pretty.<\/p>\n

Her basket swaying in the cool evening breeze.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what I will do with her once the cold temps arrive, she is much too beautiful to throw in a compost heap.<\/p>\n

She has brought me so much joy.<\/p>\n

I am sure she will let me know where she wants to go.<\/p>\n

The bright colors of summer are fading into the warm gold, rust and purple tones of Autumn.<\/p>\n

The winter preparations for the roses are beginning this week with mulching, trimming, typing them up to ensure they aren’t vulnerable to breakage.<\/p>\n

And Spring bulbs will be planted. A sure sign of Hope.<\/p>\n

A Gardeners way of saying to the world, even in the darkness of winter, Spring always comes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
