Not planned post.

It's rainy, it's ugly, it's gray,
but I went to the garden and saved my day.
I clean, I trim and I pull
... under the rain.
Am I a fool?

I'm sitting now Checking posts that I've missed
I'm caught in the Web,

Hello Tatyana,
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your writing :)
I love the "I've feel like I have accomplished something" feeling after I have worked in the garden.
That was so cute! Loved that spider web. Who could be a fool in a garden? My husband has no use for the outdoors. Won't say so to him, but I think that's terribly foolish thinking! The outdoors is such an inspiration! (His beloved Sooners lost; now he's snoozing to forget about it!)

What a lovely perspective on this. It gave me a warm pleasant smile. thank you.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note: I just realized that I haven't become a follower. Why I don't know. I guess I thought I had and then just completely spaced out. What a goof!
Beautiful sentiments and photos!
ReplyDeleteShort and sweet, whether planned or not make for a good post!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors of the fallen leaves. All those spent blooms are kind of sad.
ReplyDeleteYour spider is pretty cool looking.
I love the last picture of the colourful fallen leaves, it's absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo love that last picture. What a painting it would make.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to see the colors of fall, to enjoy via the web your garden chores and rewards.

With Fall and Winter bearing down on us I think we all are getting in our last days of gardening peace before it is all gone.That final look of color that makes us feel good even in the rain.
ReplyDeleteGardening is not complete only on the beauty, the ugliness also come in the same package... ~bangchik
ReplyDeleteFor a post that was not planned it sure turned out awesome! Love your writing! -Jackie
ReplyDeleteYou were brave to go out in the rain yesterday! It was pouring here. Sometimes it's worth it though to get outside no matter what the weather, it can really clear your mind.
ReplyDeleteTatyana, I like your post today. This looks like what I am doing in my garden too. When I see your pictures, I feel like hopping over to your garden to help you and have a chit-chat. I like the mornings when it is fresh and quiet and cool.
ReplyDeleteNot a fool, dear Tatyana, a gardener :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful post, Tatyana! My reason for saying so? The colours of leaves and blooms, the way you've used them, and the simplicity and beauty of your words!
ReplyDeleteI like this post. Wouldn't all those shattered blossoms make pretty potpourri? ~janie
ReplyDeleteLove this post, Tatyana ;) You are no more foolish than any of us...just way more creative!
ReplyDeleteHi Tatyana,
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wonder if I am a fool when I garden in a place with such a short season.
It is good to immerse yourself in your garden, it is healing and you won't regret the time spent there.
Rosey P.s. I like these photos.
Fallen leaves are looking so pretty. I also like the last pic. Well, for an unplanned post, i think it was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNo fool at all, Tatyana, but a talented writer and photographer with a sense of humor and the compulsion to garden! Fabulous! :-)

I enjoyed you unplanned post. The photos really capture the mood of Fall.
ReplyDeleteA fun post, Tatyana! You were very brave to go out in the rain to work. I'm taking advantage of a rare few sunny days to get some garden work done myself.
ReplyDeletePlanned or not, it's lovely! So glad you have been enjoying the Sedona rocks, as there are a few more to come.
ReplyDeleteCaught in the web, indeed! But somehow we don't mind.
ReplyDeleteHi Tatyana~~ Nope. You're no fool. Gardening in the rain can be very therapeutic, don't you think? I love the weeping hemlock, the stones and the leaves [I almost said petals] in the last photo. That spider is el creep o!!!
