Little Autumn Garden
By admin, on November 2nd, 2009
Today’s a work day for me, but I spied my little garden out the window this morning and of course will have my morning walk and tea there. Won’t you join me?
Cookie is waiting for you underneath the arbor.
We’ll sit on the porch near the bunnies and listen to them chew on their Timothy hay. We’ll listen to the water bubbling in the goldfish pond. Bring a cozy shawl for your shoulders. It is fall, after all.
We’ll talk about books and flowers and our favorite teas and recipes as we breathe in the chilly air. What kind of tea would you like?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have appreciated your kind comments of late, so very much. I will try to do some blog-catch-up this evening when my work is done. I hope you have a lovely Monday. Enjoy this day.

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884

What Lovely pictures Lynn,
I would LOVE to sit and chat with you…and either Chocolate tea or an Earl Grey tea latte some wonderful…or maybe even blackberry sage…
So, what is on the chat list…
I have not read many books lately…so I guess I would have to listen to whatever interesting tidbit you have read lately…about a month ago I re-read Stepping Heavenward…it is a delightful book…makes me wish I could have known Elizabeth Prentiss…I will have to see if I can find anything else written by her.
Well, I need to pop off…I am seriously wanting tea now and I am usually a coffee person…gotta shake a few bodies out of bed too!
Cheerio…thanks for the visit.

Dear Lynn,
Ah, let’s see, how about a nice mint/sage mixture for a morning tea? I’ll gladly grab my shawl and join you (I’ve been dying to see the greenhouse, you know!).
I hope you’re feeling well today.
Love,
Marqueta
Yerbe mate would be lovely!
You have been on my heart.
Continued strength and wellness.
Demeca
What a lovely garden!
Hope your day was a beautiful one.

I always enjoy your blog, Lynn! Beautiful as usual! I’ll have a mint tea with honey or a spicy Indian chai with milk and sugar. Yum!
We are enjoying the lovely leaves fall from our sweet gums in the backyard. DH bought an outdoor fire pit last night and taught the older kids how to start a fire in it. Fun!
Lynn, you are such a beautiful and inspiring person. Hope you are feeling better:-) Your in my thoughts and prayers! Have a lovely day.
Carrie, thank you for the visit! Your tea choices are great. I’ve heard of that book, Stepping Heavenward, but I have not read it.
Marqueta, lovely choie of tea. We’ll pick it fresh from the garden.
I want to see my greenhouse too! We’ve stalled a bit here, but I know it’ll be done before TOO long!
Demeca, every time I drink yerba mate I think of you. Thank you for your friendship.
Thank you, Valerie! My day was pretty good. I cannot complain at all. I am relieved that work is done.
Chris, that does sound like fun!! And great tea choice. Sometimes I am only in the mood for a spicy chai with honey and milk!
Jeanie, thank you. I appreciate your kind words!
The pictures are lovely, your garden makes me dream…beautiful at Fall!
Would be great have a seat at talk with for a while about so many things.
You`ve been in our prayers.
Hug and lovely day to you.
Beautiful pictures!! I love chamomile tea!
the first picture is so very beautiful! I love seeing the sunshine pouring in from the upper right corner!
blessings to you, Deanna
Thanks Lynn, that’s just what I needed tonight. So then I grabbed my boys and their coats and doggy, flashlights and we went for a moonlit walk. Thanks for the needed inspiration. It always, always does a body good.
Oh what a delightful and restful garden. You must spend so much time in it for so many activities. Have you designed it yourself or was it like that before?
I have always loved this Tasha Tudor look garden.
God Bless
Lynn, your garden is so very pretty. Thank you for sharing those peaceful spots!
I believe I would have a nice orange spice tea–my fave for outside drinking-esp. in the fall.
Enjoy the day and all it has to offer.
So pretty and peaceful!
Jenn
Hey Lynn, thanks for stopping by. We are very busy until the end of the first week in December, but we expect to get back to a regular blog reading and posting schedule by then. We hope you are conquering all your health issues. Our thoughts will be with you.
Rute, thank you so much. Hugs to you. I will be over to visit soon.
Becky, I love chamomile tea. I had two cups last night.
Deanna, I liked that picture too. I’m glad the camera caught the sunbeams.
Amanda, you are so right! I’m glad you took a walk. I’ve been going out early in the morning with a cup of hot tea, Annie, and just enjoying the cool air.
Gae, thank you! I did design it, little by little, and I do spend a lot of time there.
April, wonderful tea choice! I can just taste the orange and spices.
Jenn, thank you!
Thank you, Ken. The health issues are frustrating, but I’m thankful for all the other important things in my life that health can’t touch.

I love seeing pictures of your secret garden. English Breakfast Tea for me – Twinings – and let’s talk about ‘Books on Books’ – my latest interest! Have you read “1001 Children’s books to Read before you Grow Up”?
WOW I LOVE your little garden!! It reminds me of The Secret Garden, what beauty you have all around you!
Jeanne, I would love to have tea with you. Great tea choice, by the way. I have not read that book but would love to talk about books on books!
Trinity Mommy, thank you. It is sort of like a secret garden. It’s very small, but I love it so much.
