Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for
its decay. – Robert Browning
Autumn is a time to scramble and get “outside” jobs
done before the snow flies. One of the
tasks we complete is prepare the gardens for rest for the winter. It’s time to do so when the frost shuts the
flowers down.
I’ve been watching out the window as the stages of atrophy
have taken hold on the flowers planted this year. The further away from the house they are, the
quicker they changed to brown and readiness to be done. It’s time to harvest marigold and morning
glory seeds for next year’s crop.
I
do feel a sense of sympathy for the flowers. They
took the whole summer to get to full bloom and now, they are done. It simply reminds me of the importance of
life. Each phase plays a role in atrophy so continuity can happen.
I find beauty in all the stages. I look forward to preparing the gardens for
the next year. Each stage reminds me life keeps on going, and we are to keep on going with it.
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Fall-Atrophy!
