Closing Wildrose cottage for the Season



He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Ecclesiastes 3:11


Closing 296 for the season

 Closing our cottage for the season is not easy to do. It is like shutting the door to our respite, our secret sanctuary, our special hide-away from the rest of the world. But…here we are, watching the spectacular color unfold, peak and shimmer in brilliance, hesitate for a moment, then fall away never to return in quite the same way. True, if the Lord tarries, there will be another autumn, but not quite like this one. It causes us to realize that we must make the most of each season of our life, of each day, even each moment.



 Wildrose Cottage in Autumn

All the gold is not in California
Still blooming in late October. Doreen's cottage is lovely with flowers


Looking through the trellis

 
 Nancy's Cottage...just down the hill

This garden angel was placed in 14th street garden by an anonymous person
Everyone who strolls by enjoys seeing her there

 

 


 My little corner of the world
 
 
 
The end of summer flora 

Until next spring... 


 I will be posting photos I took just before closing the cottage last week. Some are of the farm where I grew up and where Laura and her husband still live. Some are of our cottage community and others are just because I like them. Enjoy!
