When I started this blog, the theme has been counting: counting down the days and chemo cycles, all mirrored by what is going on in the garden. It's been a while since I last posted, as this time, I've been captivated by the falling leaves, with one tree clinging on to it's last few leaves, which I have watched daily until the last one dropped, probably in the night. I knew that chemo would take me through the seasons, and with the garden now golden with fallen leaves, I know that we're really progressing into autumn, the nights come early, but always lots to watch.
The tree went down to 10 leaves (I counted!)
and then 3, which clung on ... and clung on,

until there was just one (plucky little fellow) ...

And then all gone ...
