Wreath on East Terrace
How does that go? “The way dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly?” That’s what it was like in the garden yesterday around noon. The wind was whipping up dry leaves creating tan heaven-bound spirals.
I hadn’t seen Chris’ recent entry, so didn’t search for that early snowdrop, but I did enjoy a short walk through the Winterthur Garden, soaking up today’s warm weather before the cold front hits with a chilling rain.
A guest asked recently ”What is there to see in the garden this time of year, anyway?” Well, there isn’t a lot of bloom out there, but what amazing views across the winter landscape! One can see the stone walls and the outline of trees well; the backbones of the garden. For me, it’s relaxing to see the open land and distant hills. Much better for my psyche than the glitter and frenetic movement in a shopping mall. I’m managed to avoid the mall during the entire Christmas shopping season (so far!)
Come, enjoy the winter landscape and let it calm your soul so you can relax and enjoy the season. Some days, you’ll have the garden almost to yourself. Let me know how your walks go and where you find beauty this winter.
A Solitary Walk
