December 1: Garden Hostas

The hosta beds are all at rest this month.  When I look at them, it’s hard to believe that they were so vibrant just a few months ago.  

 They look tired and ready for a long rest; rather how I feel on Friday night at the end of a busy week..

Winter’s quiet is as good for these plants as it is for the rest of us.  I look at these garden beds and realize again that Mother Nature clearly knew her business when she planned the four seasons.
