Hi @507, I just came in from raking the leaves in the back garden. I spread the yellow leaves from the apricot tree on the flower bed to keep the perennials protected during the winter. I love how, for a brief time, it makes my garden look golden. While the late bloomers are in their final days, I'm already dreaming about the spring when everything miraculously reappears.

As you can see, I like flowers too.

I want you to know that you are heard. I'm tagging @audriana @jane2022 @stsopoci and @jimhd to join this discussion. You might also appreciate reading Jim's words in this related discussion:

I know words are an incomplete communication tool. I wish I could just pour you a cup of tea and sit with you. Alas, words are all we have on this forum. I'm glad you shared your words and hope you'll keep talking.
