Even though the land seems parched and the humidity level balances on the edge of tolerance this is the time in the garden that truly inspires...
The bounty Nature yields is for enjoyment now and well into the cold Winter that lies ahead.
The woodpile stands drying in the hot sun awaiting the coolness of an Autumn's evening and the soft glow it shall reflect from the woodstove...
The ornamental gourds are forming bumps, swelling in size, soon to change to soft butter yellow and bright, vibrant orange... to bring harmony to the harvest table.
My new David Ramsey hydrangea has presented its first flower in soft luscious pink, the colour of candy floss... everblooming it shall great me with gifts until the end of Summer...
* The sheep in the vineyard are part of the natural cycle of dealing with the weeds that grow amongst the vines at Featherstone Estate Winery in Vineland. Located atop the Niagara Escarpment the owners have chosen this gentle way to give back to Nature as she presents delicious grapes to them.

I truly appreciate reading such beautiful words and seeing such lovely photos! Thank you for sharing these pieces of your days!
As always, your photos are beautiful! Every time I come, it is like taking a refreshing breath of sweet air.
What a sweet new header!
It's that time of year, isn't it?....everything is starting to come in faster than we can eat/process it.
Your new hydrangea is lovely. I'm enjoying blossoms on our hydrangeas for the first time, ever - thanks to the (here I go again!) deer fence.
Hi, Dear-
oh I love that new style- the tender green looks great and the header is so beautiful ♥
Your photos are really wonderful. The food looks so tasty - hm- and I can smell the fresh wood- and I love those hydrangeas. They are something special for me...
Enjoy that time with all senses- soon it´s autumn!
Love and kisses- Ines♥
Lammas is with us and all is well.
Looking at your beautiful pictures stirs a nesting instinct deep within me, wanting to pick and preserve not only the fruits and berries, but also those wonderful summer memories tucked into the jars ready to open in the depths of winter...you are as always inspiration aesthetic and the deeper inspiration that lifts my soul soaring.
Have a good week my friend from across the pond xxx

I just wanted to pop over to say thank you dear friend for your comment over at mine. During my blog pause I've missed several of your calm and inspirational posts so its been lovely to take some time out to catch up with you. Your beautiful words and photos make me realise that I miss the virtual world more than I realise!

Dear Susan, I was so delighted to find that you visited PosyLinda today. Your kind comments are appreciated. Actually, I'm stunned. Miss Maddie's is an absolute gem.

Warmly, Judy
Susan I love the way you write. So moving and poetic. Your photos are just amazing...I didn't want this post to end. I just wish that woodpile was sitting at my house and that you had two just like it.hehe
