"Walked for half an hour in the garden. A fine rain was falling, and the landscape was that of autumn. The sky was hung with various shades of gray, and mists hovered about the distant mountains - a melancholy nature. The leaves were falling on all sides like the last illusions of youth under the tears of irremediable grief. A brood of chattering birds were chasing each other through the shrubberies, and playing games among the branches, like a knot of hiding schoolboys. Every landscape is, as it were, a state of the soul, and whoever penetrates into both is astonished to find how much likeness there is in each detail."
- Henri Frederic Amiel
I am a hopeless romantic. The earths beauty and animals stir my spirit and soul. Look at the sweet potato fresh from the garden. Isn't this thrilling?
If you love gardening stop by the blog to see many more pictures and garden stories and recipes.
Happy Friday, Wishing everyone a Happy Saturday and Sunday.
You are the greatest!

For those who love sweet potatoes I say Yes! For those who don't like them so much I say...well, I don't know what to say, lol. I'm one of those who never developed a taste for them but I love the beauty of the shape and the way it grows and the texture and color, .... am I catching the wave here? Ha Ha Ha...
