Last H.C.Andersen rose

Standing almost arm in arm I have two roses, Hans Christian Andersen and Astrid Lindgren. They both have made the world a better place with the stories they have told.

(I am at Copenhagen Airport writing this - on my way to a week in Venice)

When I came home from work today.

I have been working so hard lately I have hardly realised if it was rain or shine. But today was my last workday in two weeks. Tomorrow morning I fly down to Venezia for a week, and after that I plan a week at our cabin with Marta. So when I came home this afternoon my eyes were ready to see something else than work issues. And the glorious garden was what met me!

I have showed you several photos of the cherry tree, here she is wearing her autumn dress.

Autumn in the sanctuary.

We never got the time we needed this summer to make the sanctuary into the Eden we had planned. Now autumn is taking over, and we are waiting for next spring. Though in spite of alot more work to be done, the corner is a good place for prayers.

Can't have enough of the maple red.

Sparkling red

The leaves will soon start to fall. I am collecting burning red memories for a long winter.

Autumn duty.

Wrong season.

A lonely dandelion (løvetann) is mixing up the seasons.
