And this is rest and spirituality enough for me.
Task and tools
An unexpected fall show from the forsythia
Modest meter
Mums, late bloomers yet already on their way out
Giant hosta, felled by cold, rain, and shorter day
The last bud, mistimed, like a child awake and happy at 2am
The beauty of a blush on pale features
One of the annual pots, with a piece of broken tree bone
An emptied container, with a pot shard for drainage
Waves of Hakonoechloa grass, still green
Yellow at its most yellow
Rusty bells, near a sun perennial planted defiantly in shade
Seasonal game, set aside
Open space, red anchor
No style, only function
leaf stitch word 
Yes, an old-fashioned rake is spiritual and restful in ways a leaf blower will *never* be. I need to get out into the garden and do some cleanup myself…your post makes me actually look forward to it!
