In the fall of 2023, while walking out to get the mail, I saw this small leaf on the driveway. It had just rained, and I was taken by the beauty of the day, the scene, and this little leaf.

This year we enjoyed a bountiful harvest of many fresh flowers. This fresh cut bunch of Echinacea blooms in various colors was bright and cheery for days to come. Pretty, fragrant and a touch of summer for the home.
