Evening Sun

 When we are yurting. it gives us the opportunity to see the garden at a different time. The sun slants across at a new angle, flowers look even more vibrant at dusk and the added bonus .... the guinea pigs come out. They are so pretty.

The sun hits the willow fairies at the entrance giving them a magical glow.

The fairy cave and the gnome garden are backlit by gold.

The sunflowers are truly at their best. When I think of the troubles right at the start and wondering whether we would have any left, it makes my heart sing to see them now.

Rabbits, rotting stems, wind damage ... you name it we experienced it. Luckily we grew A LOT.

I will try to name them but might get some wrong.

 

Sungold

 A self seeder

Sunburst Mixed

Velvet Queen

Most of them are chosen for having multi-headed stems. I have been able to pick several beautiful bunches leaving more to come.

This is the rose that came first in the flower show.

At the entrance to the barn play area there are elderberries ripening ....

..... and the robin can be heard singing its autumn song.

The horses continue to graze in the setting sun only pausing to look up expectantly when Hollie arrives to give love and extra feed.

Freshwinds truly is a stunning setting.
