Great idea Bonnie! Corinne and I have been discussing adding a Labyrinth-Corinne is especially keen. I have just added it to my winter “to research” list. I have a goal of ramping up the production garden area to include espalliered fruit trees, bringing height to the beds, enclosing the space to create a room, and adding some of out garden gates; maybe this area could also support the addition of a labyrinth. I am looking forward to a long and productive winter! Thanks for the suggestions and for the links. My favorite picture is the winter scene.

Mariann, Check out Bonnie’s garden in Pennsylvania and her blog site re her labyrinth (featured in today’s Fine Gardening Picture of the Day). Her story of resurrecting plants and rebuilding a new garden is lovely. I particularly enjoy labyrinths and enjoyed seeing hers. I’m one of your biggest fans re the enjoyment I get out of visiting the gardens at MacKenzie-Childs. I think a Labyrinth at MacKenzie-Childs would bring in lots more visitors to enjoy your gardens. I think you could enter some of your beautiful garden photos into Fine Gardening ‘picture of the day’ too – good exposure for your blog and for MacKenzie-Childs.
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving with your family.

[...] we have to cut down all those still blooming perennials, annuals, and grasses to make way for the 10,000+ bulbs we have yet to plant. In so many ways autumn is perhaps the busiest and briefest season for us here [...]

Meliss, I think I missed responding to your post. Thank you for asking- our gardens were not at all affected by the rain in September. We had been dry and the rain came rather steadily, as opposed to torrentially. My heart aches for the devastation suffered in my home county of Schoharie; I know you are in the midst of it. My thoughts have been and continue to be with you, Terry, my brother, and all the people back home who have so much to do to repair the damage from the rain. Ah, the beautiful Schoharie Valley!
