I love the changing of the seasons, even into winter, but I'm always glad to see spring after a bit.

Re: Thanks, Sam. I'm glad your alysseum is thriving. Everything's
prettymonochromatic in New York now. I'll be counting the days with you, incidentally. - Bob

It is a brown and barren world where I'm at now too! And, when I read of your choice blooms I instantly thought of how lovely my alyssum is this time of year against a fall backdrop! This imagery was exquisite in all facets! sam

Re: Thanks, Jay. The color trapped in all those ironbound tulip
bulbs really grabbed me. I always felt that that first real frost really spelled the end of something. - Bob

Re: one has to applaud every word written here because you have
November's a great topic -it's the real transition into winter. At the beginning of it, youcan still sink a shovel into the ground, but not at the end. They start playing carols, Santa comes in the Macy's parade, Thanksgiving night you know what's coming next, leafwatching is over, etc. - Bob

Superb! The imagery is so exact and well executed that the effect is unavoidable

Re: High praise, CC! Thank you. It started as something far more modest,
but I kept whittling, pruning, and tweaking till it said pretty much what I wanted. - Bob

Re: Thanks. It;s one of those gardening events I'd always tried to write
but couldn't. Somehow, words were there this time. - Bob
