"In rough October, earth must disrobe her"

The title is from a poem by Christina Rossetti.

 We had a few warm days this week, and I had the intention to sit at the picnic table at lunchtime - this was at work - but was sidetracked. When I got home I was determined to just sit outside for ten minutes while I could.




I sat on the front step, around sunset. I'd forgotten that white mums turn pink in the cold - at least, some do. And there's the lavender I never planted. 

The next day we had a lot of wind and many leaves came down. 



Things are starting to look bare.

  1. Is that your clothesline? It looks so wonderfully long!

  2. Gretchen, it goes from the back door out to the tree at the brook’s edge, but my little point-and-shoot does make it appear longer. I confess I do not use the line much!
