Middle of the night waking up as usual. Usual for me here in the sudden quiet of a New York City night. No sirens, no neighbors hoof beats or chatter. Just the whir and hum of electricity. My mind a semi-blank and the cold having let go a bit of my poor old lungs, I view your skeletal leaves, linger awhile with Tay.

2nd photo just begs for a cloth to be draped over it to imprint.
You may have only gotten a few tomatoes but they look absolutely delicious as does the eggplant I don’t even like eggplant but the richness of your photo makes your harvest so inviting and I wonder if eggplant skins give color to cloth? We are still getting a few tomatoes and lots of chiles and jalapenos that have turned a bright red and that redness signifies their spiciness…Rich eats them like candy, I only arrange them on my little grapevine wreaths, cannot eat such spicy chiles.
Yesterday I noticed movement in the center vegetable bed (has Swiss chard and newly reseeded beets and radishes.) Two squirrels were walking on either side of the radish row, munching away; I didn’t have the heart to shoosh them away until they had their fill. When I quietly walked up to them, they scattered over the wall. They certainly had their fill, they feasted and decimated the delicate radish tops…still I don’t mind sharing most of the time and like to think that we offer a buffet for the creatures that we share this space with.

Going from one season to another…..BEAUTIFUL gifts …..lace or leaf skeletons. Both would be correct but interesting how differantly interpetated. Have a BEAUTIFUL day….BEAUTIFUL lady.

smell is something I am so interested in.
LikeLike
“When the olfactory bulb detects something…during eating, sex, an emotional encounter, a walk through the park…it signals the cerebral cortex and sends a message straight into the limbic system, a mysterious, ancient, and intensely emotional section of our brain in which we feel, lust, and invent. Unlike the other senses, smell needs no interpreter. The effect is immediate and undiluted by language, thought, or translation. A smell can be overwhelmingly nostalgic because it triggers powerful images and emotions before we have time to edit them.”

Oh boy … I can tell this cold is really getting to me when I realize that I read this title last night and then looked through all the pictures for a missing fence post. Sheesh … get a grip Liz!
So, much better this morning, though now wistful that something you wrote isn’t here. Loving the leaf lace especially … and yearning for a single, perfect beefsteak tomato.

This is autumn all right. I wonder how the leaf skeletons become so? I love looking at Tay. Those tomatoes; my digestion doesn’t fancy them so well anymore, but my eyes sure do.
