Little bundles


The garden is in its late autumn beauty now: seed heads mark where the full garden glory once stood.


The larch tree has dropped its needles, and a few fallen branches with cones are treasures to me.



The feverfew and lady's mantle are a froth of dried flowers at the edges of the beds. Rosemary and thyme offer still-green beauty; the rose gives its loveliness.


I gather bits of the garden into little bundles to bring inside. I'm not ready to say goodbye.

Beautiful, Katie! I love bringing nature indoors. I have a yard full of pine cones ready to be brought in once they dry out in the sunshine. I was happy to hear from you on my blog. Do try those trees. But, one word of warning- they are incredibly addictive! You'll find yourself wishing you had more trees! lol

I love the evergreen as the base for your arrangement! It is such a wonderful idea to bring them inside like this!!!
