Bringing the Outdoors Indoors

At this time of year, I love to bring some of the treasures

of the outdoors inside with me.

It helps me stay in touch with my garden

as the wind blows and the rain pours down.

It's a quiet time, a time to enjoy the detail

and rich brown of a fern frond, and the curious twist of a pumpkin stem.

A time to remember the peeps of the baby birds and to marvel at the intricacies of a handful of feathers.

A time to take joy in the varying textures and colors

of moss and birch bark.

A time to delight in the harvest

of creation's beauty.
