| The Carbon Cowboys emphasize the organic side of growing food and flowers. Everything that has grown will end up as soil, so the Creation Garden gathers leaves when others are bagging them up to be hauled away. |
We had heavy rain for two days, just what we needed, and then cold, followed by a perfect fall day with trees golden from the frost.
The roses show signs for another bouquet on Sunday, especially Veterans Honor.
The curtain for sound dampening in the chapel arrived at the parsonage - or rather, the renterage. Ranger Bob came by for pour-over coffee, and chicken. Sassy was overjoyed and repaid us for sound advice.
Everything came today, from a white computer mouse to the curtain and rod to absorb sound behind the computer and webcam. I also have small metal shelves for speakers and for future flower displays - Christmas, Easter, and Ascension Day. Bob and I went to work and Sassy observed with grins and sharp barks. Most of it was done today with a little more to be adjusted tomorrow.
When we were done, Sassy went to the bed for her lovey time, so I could tell her how much everyone loves her, especially Bob. When I clapped for her to jump up, she pivoted 180 degrees and marched off to the front door to go outside, grinning. She enjoyed sitting on the driveway and observing everything on the cul de sac. The weather was perfect for her, cool, dry, with only a slight breeze.
In Lord of the Rings, Frodo dreamed about the pleasure of the "garden at twilight."
