The leaves are beginning to turn. A clear sign the season is changing. Across the road the chicken farmer has a row of maples. The browns and yellows of these trees are the prettiest thing to see. Mother Nature is wonderful and time is told through the undressing of these trees. We are having a taste of the wintery weather to come. It’s time to start preparing for inside fires. It is time to freshen up the winter wardrobe and linen cupboard. It’s time for the blankets to be hauled out and aired. Summers light and airy clothing are replaced by Jumpers and long sleeve shirts. Yes, the comforts of winter.
In the outside animal world it’s a time to slow down too. The grass stops growing and takes a well-deserved break. The small animals go into hibernation and the world is slowing to a less harrowed pace. Inside the old farm kitchen, there are lots of plans going on for winter. Yes, father winter will wrap his cold thin finger around the garden very soon and I welcome it. There are so many things about the cooler weather to enjoy.
