The garden is a shadow of it's summer self and there are more seed heads than flowers. Autumn is not an end but the prequel to next spring. All those seed heads are next springs blooms. Nature is a great example of how nothing stays the same and everything can start a new.
Enjoy this season's harvest. Find joy in the costumed knee biters on the 31st. Their ability to express themselves without fear is a great thing to see. We could learn from them.
