After a too-long absence I stepped into the garden today and as usual was delighted by the fresh beauty awaiting me on this bright and sunny and warm fall Sunday.
At the back gate I noted the wonderful copper covering of the curved wooden element on the gate frame…to keep the water out of the wood I presume, and before long it will be as green as the gate but TODAY the copper shone in the sun…
The flowers I watched the volunteers plant in the spring are in their last real blaze…
and I then headed to the grape arbor to see the progress the builders have made. They are, bit by bit, replacing all the wooden elements without disturbing this key central bit of hardscape. It has been fascinating to watch…
They are even removing the comfy bench and lattice under the arbor (where I have spent a LOT of time looking and drawing)…here it is in spring
and today dismantled for repair and replacement…
and here’s a vintage shot of the arbor…
This week I hope to meet up with the builders and bring you more inside info…until then, watch out for those September spider webs!
