Slow Sunday Haiku

Leaves falling

Autumn’s here

 

It is a long time since a haiku popped into my head.

This one was inspired by this post by Mrs Gumboots.

Silent Sunday

Knolling, Flat Lay, Assemblage Art

As you can see I’m learning even more new terms.

The honeysuckle in my garden is having a second flush of blooms and the scent is heavenly in these sunny Autumn days. It inspired this Flat Lay piece of Assemblage art which includes a few verbascum blooms and birch leaves.

And did you know about Knolling ……… no? Nor me ….until I was enlightened by Instagram

knolling is “the process of arranging like objects in parallel or 90 degree angles as a method of organization”.

I’m so fascinated by the markings on these leaves

Leaf love!

Yellow and grey are In!

(Mini birch forest)

Yesterday’s spiral of leaves were drying out but still looking gorgeous enough to adorn with some Marigold petals and Honeysuckle

Oh! Ah! Oooo! the morning dew on Marigolds!!!!!!  I’m just loving this Autumn.

I’m not a fan of yellow flowers in the garden as a rule, but couldn’t you just dive into this buxom bloom.

Why not add some honeysuckle berries

I did 3 hours of digging in my garden yesterday in the Battle Against Bamboo (and bindweed!) So I could enjoy some guilt free playtime with petals and leaves.

A Flat Lay extravaganza!

Not In a Vase, but all from my garden, I am once again joining in the IAVOM Garden Party this week.

Silent Sunday

One hour Autumn walk

My friend and I walked from Bere Regis car park, through woods,

up to and along Black Hill

past old quarries

past sun-shiny gorse bushes with dense spiders’ nests

along the ridge

down into deep dark sunken lanes

and leafy paths thick with leaf mould underfoot and dappled light ahead

through the village of Shitterton.

The footpath goes between those two cottages.

and into the Drax Arms for my birthday treat, a scrummy Sunday Roast – Thank you lovely walking friend! ❤ (my birthday is on Friday, 11th)

Rounding off the excursion with the obligatory visit to the church, which is huge and full of amazing wooden carvings and this rather sweet sign by a gravestone

A boy named Joy! How delightful.

Home to a glorious sunset …

….. time to light the fire.

Wishing you all a snug evening. ❤
