A triumph of yellows...

The last blast of fall color before the colder air comes in.
This afternoon, after a morning filled with grey, the sunlight flooded in from the West.
It was a glorious afternoon, replete with a cool crisp wind.
This morning, we met with a garden designer to discuss possible plans for our future garden at Mapleridge.
We are hoping for a garden filled with elements: earth, air, fire and water.
So much to look forward too!

This morning we met with another landscape architect/designer in preparation for the work we hope to do on the land next spring, when the house is done.

It was raining when he arrived, the clouds were beautiful, as though the sun might possibly break through at any moment. And then...it did...

This is the distant view from the back of our garden. I am amazed at the glory of the orange hues, flanked by yellows, with the promise of much yet-to-come in the greens still peppering the hillside.

Each time we visit our land we have a sense of deep peace, knowing that it will be a place of healing and creativity. It is difficult to fully express the joy we both have in knowing that this beauty, this magnificence, will greet us each morning, each season, each year...

We are grateful for all that is about to unfold.
