Autumn is under way
Come party with the late blooms
Dance till Jack Frost comes
Copyright 2014 Brenda Davis Harsham
Note: Despite having snow flurries on Sunday, we still have blooms here and there. This poem is a haiku, with five, seven and five syllables on each line.

Great pictures – we have a few flowers here and there but not many – they’ve mostly gone on their annual skiing holiday.

Still have a few flowers left. The herb garden is still going strong except for the basil. Basil is wimpy compared to sage and oregano.

Yes – it’s sitting there shivering, dreaming of its Mediterranean motherland, no doubt. Bring it in, in a pot, and keep it in the kitchen – it keeps the flies away.

An indoor herb garden in a thought. Perhaps I will have space for that when the kids are grown. Right now, we have school papers and art supplies everywhere. 🙂
