One foot in spring and one foot in winter is exactly how this week has been isn't it- a little reminder to settle into each day rather than hurry onwards perhaps- although snow this late does seem a little unfair on us and the plants.
Love that patience was your word and the many ways the garden helped you practice it. Another reason for me to get into gardening I think as I could often do with more patience when it comes to my toddler. :-)
I know, some of my plants weren’t too thrilled by the snow!
Patience was such a good word (still is). I feel like I learnt a great deal. I do wish I’d gardened when my children were very young though, I think it would have been good for us all.
Ah patience yes! I did pot up a dahlia in the green house last week and wrapped her in an old sheep skin. When I look at the tulips in their pots they whisper - not quite yet! Lovely post Claire. 🌷✨
I love the juxtaposition you mentioned AND photographed!! How beautiful to seize the opportunity to camp in both seasons all at once.
We are seeing the last tenants of summer plantings straggling across into autumn. My late planted tomatoes aren’t going that well but my spinach & late herbs has gone crazy!! Both received equal amounts of love.
Autumn colours are popping up more frequently on our morning walks & I get so much delight from kicking the multi coloured leaves along the way! The child in me is still very much alive & well.
Oh I love to read your comments and be reminded of the seasons at the opposite end of the spectrum, another reminder that the seasons will always come around. I love these transitional seasons, autumn and spring so much.
Lovely words Claire, thank you for sharing.
