Gardening Quote of the Day

"The morns are meeker than they were, The nuts are getting brown; The berry's cheek is plumper, The rose is out of town. The maple wears a gayer scarf, The field a scarlet gown. Lest I should be old-fashioned, I'll put a trinket on. "

(Emily Dickinson, American poet (born 12/10/1830))
