Chanticleer – the last hurrah!

The last week of Chanticleer took us from a deep frost to positively balmy. These are my last captures for the season.

End of a season 
Chanticleer closes its gates
Our hearts full of joy

The garden’s true gift
Lives on in the memories
Where nature meets art

      So true. Grateful I got my bulbs in last week! Enjoy the play of frost and cobwebs caught in the low morning sun 💐🙏🏻🧡

    Ah, this post brings back the beautiful smells and colors of summer, Val 🙂 Instead of the rain and cold, I’m now experiencing. A beautiful poem, “The garden’s true gift, Lives on in the memories, Where nature meets art” Absolutely!
