A Good Harvest...

Freshly picked bittersweet...

a good harvest...

I'll bring it inside tonight

where it is dry

and cozy warm

&

by tomorrow morning

the golden yellow capsules

will burst,

exposing the beautiful

orangish red flesh

of the

bittersweet plant.

Bittersweet...

an autumn tradition at our home.

I'll tuck sprigs in amongst autumn decorations

&

on the mantel

&

in my old step~back cupboards.

Remaining sprigs will be tucked

around mini pumpkins

in my window planter boxes.

happy autumn,

brenda
