Foxglove Plants - Photograph

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

I took that photograph this past week. A few weeks ago, I noticed several small plants growing. I think these sprouted from seeds that came from the lone Foxglove plant that grew two years ago. Their germination time is similar to what I think is an Evening Primrose that I harvested seeds from, and which grow two years after the seeds drop from the flowers onto the ground. In the past, in the Fall (Autumn), I have seen plant growth similar to this for the Evening Primrose flowers, and then in the Spring, the plant grew to full height. I am hopeful that will happen with these Foxglove plants.

"(Halloween) Full Moon (SPA Guest Host)" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week I have the honor of guest hosting Sunday Postcard Art, and I chose the challenge theme "Full Moon."

Although movies like to portray a Full Moon on Halloween, it only occurs on that date every 18 or 19 years. The previous Halloween Full Moon was in 2020. The next one will be in 2039. A full moon on Halloween is also a Blue Moon, because it is the second full moon in the same month.

-----

AUTUMN

OVER her dreaming face she flings
Forgetfulness, nor seems to hear,
Above the waning of her year,
A passing sob of wood-doves' wings.

As one, that in a magic swoon,
Remembering not slow time's advance,
Might find her face o'er-brushed perchance
Of bat-wings at the bud of moon,

And say, with murmur of her lips,
"Low fly the swallows in the sun:
"I will awake when heat is done,
"And all the weary daylight dips."

Even so she sleeps; and wakes aware
Only at parting of her joys,
When the wood's multitudinous voice
Goes chilled and chidden through the air.

Then all her shining visage thrills
With pain, crowned round with shattered gold;
Her gracious hands unlock their hold
On all the purple leaning hills.

And wood-sprites learn a sudden lore
From that wild death upon her face;
And, as they strip her empty place,
White strangers foot it to the door.
