After the events of the past two weeks, the garden has never felt more trivial yet has been a great refuge at the same time. I have no energy to attack the “to-do” list or even lift a shovel, but I could spend hours with the camera capturing it in all its early fall glory.
So with that in mind, here are some of the photos I’ve taken the past few days. I’m sure at some point in the near future I’ll be planting bulbs like a man possessed, but for now I’ll just bask in the peace the garden provides.
And a huge thank you to all that have provided such kind words to our family. While we’re all saddened and heart broken, we take solace in the fact that we can’t stop telling stories about my father-in-law, both with tears of sadness and of laughter.
It’s looking gorgeous! I really need to convince my husband to add some grasses to our garden. My condolences to your family. It’s completely understandable to be unable to do much after something like that happening.
Happy autumn!
Thanks so much Misti. You add grasses and I’ll be super stoked!!
Beautiful! I hope your creation brings you comfort, John. Your FIL will always have a bird’s eye view of it now; I’ll bet it’s MAGNIFICENT.
Thank you so much Karen!
That milk weed is like totally great. ALL the photos are cool. Sending condolences as you continue to mourn a great guys passing and celebrate his life. Pretty cool how you feel about him.
Truly appreciate the kind words Chuck!
