"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour."

Autumn in the Garden







"Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
Fluttering from the autumn tree"

Emily Bronte


I love the colours of Autumn and the leaves in the garden are showing their beautiful Autumn tints.













It was very misty this morning with dewdrops glistening on cobwebs





There are still several plants in flower - cosmos, fuschia, michaelmas daisies, coneflowers and sedums







Ivy flowers - popular with butterflies and late flying insects


I grew some tomatoes this year for the first time in years and whilst some are still ripening, I plan to make Green Tomato Chutney with the rest.



Toadstools are starting to appear in the lawns.


Whitebeam, rowan and pyracantha berries have already been eaten by Blackbirds and Wood Pigeons but some holly berries remain.


And the fairies watch over the trimmed wildflower meadow!!!
