I firmly believe that the #Month of #November,
often the #Dreariest #Season of the year,
may become full of #Charm to a #Delicate person,
barring #Fogs,
if he/she will work steadily,
weather-permitting,
[in the] #Garden.

It is then that #Gardening comes,
like some heaven-sent #Messenger,
with #Peace & #Healing #Power;
it freshens & #Cheers,
& sends one back to our #Work
a new #Creature.

- Mrs. Katharine S. M'Quoid, The #Healing #Influence of a Garden (1893)
