Autumn and Still the Garden Glows
Picture

Autumn and Still the Garden Glows is the third book in a series with text by Celia Theater from her book, An Island Garden. She writes, "...the whole garden is a mass of bloom and fragrance, still haunted by birds, bees, butterflies, and dragonflies..." Contemporary garden writer, Reeser Manley concurs, "The garden in late September, before a killing frost, is filled with an exuberance that borders on desperation."

​Autumn is the last hurrah in the garden and I have long since stopped trying to tidy up my own garden and instead let everything go. It is as if everything is on fire. As Thaxter wrote, "...Autumn laying here and there a fiery finger on the leaves..." As the temperatures plummet, the goldfinches come closer to the house to feed on flower seeds.

It is hard to adjust to a new environment right away, but you will get through it. I completely understand that you have lots of things to think about, but believe me, you will be able to learn so many things. If you want to go and have a talk with it with me, then just do it anytime. I am okay with talking with lots of people, that is just how I see it. Please, do help me get better.
