“Ah, September! You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul...
but I must confess that I love you only because you are a prelude to my beloved October.”
― Peggy Toney Horton
through the branches
The tiny berries on the barberry bushes are starting to form. I read that the berries are edible, used for tea or maybe jam and have health benefits. I can’t image harvesting them as they are so tiny and surrounded nasty long thorns. But they make a beautiful backdrop for the green maple leaves as I hunt for any sign that autumn has arrived.
