Michaelmas Daisies
Sign of Autumn
On our walk home yesterday, Constance and I found one of our favourite signs of fall…
Daisies
…Michaelmas Daisies, in clusters of sweet purple.
Oh Deer!
We bought a flowerpot full of sweet blossoms for our windowsill garden…but we discovered that deer are partial to them too.
Sweet Bouquet
…..but Constance picked some yesterday for a wee tussie-mussie…
a bud
…and she discovered a bud still on the plant!

Thank goodness for small blessings and inefficient grazing!
Yes – we wonder why there are giant clumps of them blooming everywhere, but they get eaten off our windowledge? Anyway, the pot of leaves with one bud is now tucked behind the rosemary plant and next to the onion, which the deer hate!
This is such a homey and daily type of narrative. I love the simplicity and beauty of it. Sorry for the deer nips.
We are used to small tribulations, and just try and enjoy the plant and animal life as we encounter it. It was a bit surprising to go to bed with purple on the windowledge and then wake up to green!
Fall is our favorite time of year also. The beautiful flowers, the changing leaves and migration. It’s an exciting time. I admire the way Constance is making the best of the deer browsing situation by bringing the flowers indoors. She is very resourceful.
Luckily she had a little bouquet indoors, but the rest of the daisy plant is trying to skulk on the ledge outside our window between the rosemary and the onion! We’ll see if the deer are fooled!
Ahhh lovely flowers and Constance! A win win… such great photos. We also love asters…and HIttys…and autumn.
We think this is one of the prettiest fall flowers! Constance says they would be pretty embroidered on a white apron – eh?
