Gardening Quote of the Day

"But now in September the garden has cooled, and with it my possessiveness. The sun warms my back instead of beating on my head ... The harvest has dwindled, and I have grown apart from the intense midsummer relationship that brought it on."

(Robert Finch, Canadian poet, literary critic)
