Last bouquet from my garden

It’s going to dip into the 30s this week and even below freezing come Friday night, so I’m gathering bouquets, harvesting veggies and herbs and potting up tender perennials to overwinter inside.

Though it’s sad to say goodby to the glorious colors and bounty of spring, summer and autumn, there’s also a sweet feeling of calm, coziness as the frost descends and I hibernate with my garden.
