The lovely, lovely moon
Broke through the thick and heavy clouds
Lighting our world in silver moon dust.
Oh, how I love the full moon and how the earth turns into a magic fairyland of light.

TLC Cai-Cai and I went out to check the drying down of the corn
Still spots of green…still drying down.

One morning we were covered in a very large cloud
The sun shining on the edges of our horizon
It was just one cloud, but oh, my was it a huge cloud!

The elusive feel of Summer is over…until next year
Our woodstove providing all the heat for our old bones
The lovely warmth (even HOT) of that special time (Summer)
Now only a memory as we move into that space just before —-W.

Hi Linda
I hope you’re getting some well-earned rest after the hay marathon. If we were neighbours, I’d be coming in for a couple bales myself, to feed my forthcoming little flock when the weather’s a bit too dry for good forage.
And just before Terry went into for his hernia operation
We winterized the corvette. 🙂

We had 750 bales of hay still to go to its new life as feed
Last week and Monday
It was loaded out and hauled away
Finished.
Whew!

You can feel it in the afterglow of the sunset in the west
The world starting to grow silent
As everything gathers into itself for the long, long sleep of winter.

The weather people are telling us
We are in the very last days of Summer.
Any time now…any time
A visit from Jack Frost will arrive.
Bringing with it lots and lots of snow for the mountains
And hard killing frosts, causing our temperatures to drop from the high 60’s into the low 50’s
These are the last days of Summer glimmering in the clouds, the sky, and on the land.

The early morning rain brought a slightly clearing sky
The hint, just a wee hint, but still a hint
Of a turn coming
It probably won’t be long now until a killing frost arrives.
Until then, we will enjoy perfect early Autumn days
Where even the nasty weeds look attractive. 🙂
