This fall marks the end of my time in Delaware. My youngest and I are heading to Northeastern Oklahoma, which is actually my home state. I'll be returning to friends and family, but leaving just as many friends behind. A difficult thing.
Next spring will bring new gardening stories from me, but don't think the fall and winter will be spent sitting in front of the fire knitting. For me, gardening is a year round affair. I've got wonderful catalogs, gardening books, gardening journals, etc. to peruse and plan with. I am a member of a gardening club that has an online presence to look into.
My gnomes are coming with me, just as any beloved family member would. They'll find new places to peak out from amid flowers and bushes. My father's home, where I am going, has an established yard and garden, but there's always room for more. The iris I planted some 10 years ago are still going strong. My younger sister put in a couple of forsythia that have gained a decent foothold, and there have always been waves of daffodils in the spring. A swing set the kids outgrew has been confiscated as an arbor for a sweetly scented autumn blooming clematis. And, a sprig of Mimosa tree has grown into a 10 foot specimen. My gnomes and I will get to add to all of this as well as grow vegetables in the major portion of Dad's yard.
A new adventure in gardening is awaiting.
