End of the Season

Each time I see a butterfly I know it could be the last time
for this season.

Any day now the north wind will bring colder temperatures.

The growing season is almost over.

The cosmos have bloomed from June through October.



They are a reliable food source
for butterflies and bees.

I grow Chrysanthemums for Autumn color.
I cut long stems for the house.
I grow them for me.
I will dry some blooms for winter teas.

The leaves are turning.
I watched as a southern breeze danced many to the ground.

I did my morning meditation with a white rose.

She drew me in.
I felt like a butterfly seeking nectar.

The Monarchs are migrating.
The season of the butterflies is drawing
to a close.

Dear Sherry,

For me, butterfly visits have been so few. But with this warm October they are about. They dance around me as they flutter across the garden. Their fragility has become more apparent, I worry for them but stay positive. I have started to enlarge my borders. I shall have drifts of butterfly blooms next year........

Your images are lovely and the white rose is perfect for meditation. I sat under the old oak yesterday and thought of you.......
