Who Says Winter is Grey and Dreary?

It’s been good to rest this winter season, to turn inward and allow my resources to rebuild, and yet my eyes and heart keep finding the bits of magic peeking up through the snow and ice, blowing in the sharp winds. I simply had to take a rest from rest and honor all that magic.

Autumn in My Garden: Texture & Shape

Obviously, I felt the call in my last post to honor the autumn color in my garden, but perhaps more astonishing are the emerging textures and shapes. Living in the shadow of the reds, oranges and yellows of their visually-strong neighbors, these fuzzy white flowers, clematis seed-pod remnants and petal-less black-eyed susan’s are easy to miss. However, they deserve just as much of my attention.

I went out with my camera this morning to take a photo of the Dragon Tongue bush beans growing in my front yard raised beds — they are truly remarkable looking beans! — and then I noticed all the plants that are about to bloom or fruit. I’m in awe of the textures and shapes of these emerging plants.
