The foxglove summer.

Foxglove summer and Amaranth fall.

There is always something about fall that makes me think of passing. I will never forget the foxgloves this spring and will never not equate them with my friend and the horror she has gone through and is still trying to push through.The height of the harvest and the end of the bountiful season!Mother nature was stingy this year.Too much rain and not enough heat.And now at the end mother nature is passing on the things we have overlooked, the Amaranth and the Sun Flowers, and the Blanket flowers!And bringing on some Brandywine tomatoes at least! That makes a case for keeping the canned goods for two years!The grape bins are out across the way, but I don’t hear any banging.There are no machines going all night in the vineyard keeping me awake, yet!It’s a so, so harvest and I am still grateful!When I pass, I think I want to just be put on a brush pile and burned, worked back into the soil and work at keeping worms happy!We’ve had a hard year but it was a growing one.
