Tom has a mom.
She is mostly known as "Grandma".
Grandma has a house - a house that is right "next door" to ours.
I have a young friend!
My friend was having dinner with us when I realized that the sun was setting and it was time for me to take pictures.
She asked to come along, my friend did.
We huffed and puffed! (I did more than my young friend!)
Grandma's door is up a steep hill.
Her garden is even farther beyond that!
There are all sorts of things in mom's garden.
It's a magical place!
For example, there are soon to be Jack-o-lanterns.
There are, also, soaring sunflowers and long tunnel-like alleys between them and the corn.
My friend and I had fun with Grandma in her garden.
My friend helped harvest ....
.... and I took pictures.
Any place where there's a harvest has an air of magic about it.
How else does it all grow, if not by magic???
Yes, there's surely magic in a garden - especially after sunset!
We felt it!
I am completely fond of the New England architecture. Love GrandMa's house !
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day, dear Katy Noelle.

Dearest Katy, What a magical place indeed Tom's mother's house looks to be. I am not surprised that your young friend wished to explore her garden with you since it is full of such bounty and wonderful plants. There is something really special about being able to have flowers and, in this case, corn towering above you as you make your way through it all.
ReplyDeleteHer house looks very pretty indeed and matches what, in my mind's eye, the buildings look like in Vermont. The houses seem to sit so comfortably in the landscape which is really delightful to see.
This is such a lovely post!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - your friend seemed to have a fun day, too!

ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun time in Grandma's garden with your young friend. Lovely post Katy. I just love this time of year too when we are harvesting summer's bounty.

Hi Katy Noelle,
ReplyDeleteI finally found some time between ironing, preparing dinner and the visit of my parents to blog. Hurray!
Just read you last two posts. I enjoyed them very much. They way you described and captured 'timeworn' is beautiful. The view of the lake something out of a movie. So is the dear old lady with the book.
Grandma's garden looks good! Lucky you to have her nearby. Your friend looks very sweet. Her teeth made me laugh. I can remember my girls looking like this. I loved it when they smiled
:-)!
And you are right about things growing in a garden. It's magical indeed!
Enjoy your day! It's bright and sunny in Holland at last.
Oh before I forget: I enjoyed yesterday mornings mist!
Lieve groet, Madelief xo
