As Winter Approaches…
A crackling fire, the scent of wood smoke in the air
Frosted grass crunching under the weight of each step
Longer nights – shorter days – neutral shades
Memories of flying rainbows brighten the darker recesses of my mind
Winter’s Waning
13 days and still Gaia is blanketed by white
A late winter’s nightr
The morning after
The earth refuses to give up her cover and allow spring’s flowers to stretch and bloom
Early March snows melt quickly creating vignettes that are etched into my mind
The labyrinth covered with snow
Slate sculpture in the snow
But still I count down the days until spring
Ice Encased
A glass of wine, winter boots and my daily pilgrimage into the gardens.

A Year in the Life of the Garden
The garden has matured as I have grown older.
Old gardens have evolved as new ones emerge.
Plantings encourage new visitors while old friends come and go.
Yet I struggle with new-found freedoms.

Can I do the same?
