life in and around the garden
With the temperature reading 9 degrees in the garden, I took shelter in Rabbit Run Cottage.
A place to escape the breeze that burns your skin.
A few treasures still sitting out on the little table, I really should pack these up for the Winter.
I think I will give the little shed some winter touches. Maybe a pinecone garland, and a little wreath.
Counting and sorting saved seeds.
Putting in pretty packages for my little etsy store.
They will be listed by the weekend!

The adirondack chairs are the last to be packed up from the garden.
When the sun does decide to shine, it still is nice to sit and enjoy the view.
Little details of the Autumn garden.
Garlic Chive seeds ready to harvest.
I keep this vintage fishing tackle box in the greenhouse.
All cleaned up and organized for next Spring.
Pinecones from the garden for upcoming projects.
Wreaths, garlands and a big bowl for the table.
Gloves, hats, and boots too!
I will enter this next season kicking and screaming, it helps me stay warm!
It seems the “below normal temps” continue around the garden.
The snow wants to stay.
A first snowfall, crisp air, warming sunshine.
A reflection of the garden and it’s purpose.
As I walked the garden this morning, I peeked inside the windows of Rabbit Run Cottage…the view looking in is a nice as the view looking out.
November brings grateful moments….
I dried a few Sunflower heads in the greenhouse for Autumn decorating.
I can’t help but think of the cycle, that once again has transpired in my garden.
From the seeds planted in early May, to the beautiful tall blossoms standing in the garden mid Summer.
As early Fall rolls in and the Sunflower heads dry–the birds feed on each little dried blossom.
My garden is getting ready to rest, with our first snow in the forecast the next day or so.
It too, is good for this gardener to rest.
