-   John Donne, 1620

This evening I had to come in at 7:30 because it was so dark and cold. Just a month ago I was sweltering in full sun at that time of night. It is mid-September, and time to drink good vodka with a dish of pears and elderberries, and think about filling the wood bin tomorrow.

The Cimicifuga R. was beautiful today, and full of bees. Ligularia “Othello” is in bloom like a beacon at the back of the garden.
