September 2021

And then it rained. After a remarkably hot summer we are invited back into the warmth of our homes to reconnect with friends and family. The water reinvigorates us not unlike the botanical world. We are miraculous living beings who need nurturing, as well. A joyful time approaches with many traditions to celebrate and a show stopping deciduous finale yet to arrive. Fall in all its glory is just around the corner.
