I welcome the colors of Autumn to the garden.
This one blossom faded more quickly then the rest.
I thought the shades of brown were beautiful and rested it on a linen.
As the garden fades into Fall, welcome October.

Apple Season
It’s apple season!
The best decoration for the table, a bowl of beautiful apples.
“Eat an apple”, I remind my kids.
Apple Butter is cooked to spread on our toast all Winter long.
Thank you Johnny Appleseed.
Just a little touch
A circle of bittersweet for the garden shed.
Can you hear the choir?
My favorite time of year–Pumpkin Time!
Fall touches
Of coarse vintage canning jars are a part of my Fall decorating!
String, snips and stripes
Better Homes and Gardens Test Garden
My favorite spot in the test garden…this little winding waterfall filling the pond.
It was shaded with stunning Japanese Maples.
A serene spot in the garden.

Sight seeing
Iconic sights from DesMoines, IA
at Meredith Corporation!
Plantoir by Claes Oldenburg and Cassje van Bruggen.
It commemorates the 100th anniversary and it’s role in gardening through publication.
I will share more tomorrow from the beautiful test gardens!
It’s a very good day
The opportunity to work with the talented people of Country Gardens Magazine, I’m headed back home to my little garden after an amazing day.
And, yes–that’s me back there–standing next to the arbor entrance to the vegetable garden!
Blurred lines
Overflowing garden beds hide the raised beds.
It’s hard to tell what’s hiding in there sometimes, and I find myself nearly standing on my head to pick tomatoes.
