Pumpkin Bloom 2013
Pumpkin Vine Climbing the Arborvitaes 2013
I have invited about fifty of my friends from near and far
with an RSVP attached. So far, a half dozen have said to expect them. In the
end, I’ll be very satisfied if twice that many show up. One of my gracious
friends said she’d provide the waffle iron and a recipe to go with it; I intend
to take her up on the offer. It’s an opportunity to share my preserves and strengthen
new and old friendships over coffee and conversation.

Opening the Garden
of Nemesis to the public has opened
unexpected doors. I’ve met some very interesting and wise characters. I
thoroughly enjoy the company of other gardeners and plant lovers. Our common
bond is a love of Nature and the Earth and our eagerness to share our
knowledge. We never run out of things to talk about, only the time in which to
do so.
This is the time of year where most gardeners are frazzled.
Housekeeping chores get put off while we weed, distribute compost, plant
ground cover, wash and preserve fruits and vegetables and move tender plants
inside before the frost. It’s generally a mess around here this time of year.
Luckily, my friends don’t mind a few cobwebs in my less-than-perfect house;
they’ve already seen the worst when they’ve unexpectedly dropped by.

The main focus for this gathering is to celebrate life and
friendships and abundance. Sometimes we get so caught up in our everyday toils
we forget to stop and smell the pumpkins.
