The leaves are beginning to change on the hillsides. Mums are in full
bloom. Pumpkins are bright orange and large in the dwindling garden.
Fall has officially arrived.
School is in full swing. The newness has worn off the pencils, rumpled pages are present in the notebooks and shoes are scuffed.
Meetings are galore as the budget process has started in town. Reports are due, committees formed, meetings scheduled.
We
have already had a couple of fires in the wood stove in the kitchen.
The horses are truly turning fuzzy. The turkeys are getting huge! Sweat
pants and sweat shirts have started appearing in the laundry basket.
I
was out working in the field the other day and found a few wolly bear
caterpillars. They have very little brown on both ends, but lots of
black in the middle. I guess the farmer's almanac has the same
prediction.
Enjoy the apples, the fall harvest, the crisp
morning air. Winter is just around the corner. It was snowing in
Anchorage yesterday. Guess I'm glad we only had rain showers.
