This is always a difficult, transitional time of year. Some still hot days followed by threats of freezing. Vows to get everything in pots either in the house or in the ground stopped by driving rains. And the lure of the catalogs and plant sales all around us. Plans for next year's garden racing around in our heads. Move this plant now or wait for spring?
"A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart. "
Hal Borland, American journalist

"Aside from the garden of Eden, man's great temptation took place when he first received his seed catalogue. "
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - born Feb. 6, 1807

Rich purple beautyberry adds its color
Thanks Giving: It is literally true, as the thankless say, that they have nothing to be thankful for.  He who sits by the fire, thankless for the fire, is just as if he had no fire.  Nothing is possessed save in appreciation, of which thankfulness is the indispensable ingredient.  But a thankful heart hath a continual feast.  W.J. Cameron
