The end of golden leaves
The end of golden sunshine
And the beauty of
Red leaves among the green.
A huge wind came in Sunday evening
Announcing the end of fall’s warm days
All through Sunday night, it snowed
Temperatures dropped to 15*f (-9.4 c) with a wind chill of 2f (-16.6c)
Winter
Arrived.
But we are prepared.
The snow is not fated to stay. By this time next week, we will be back in the field. (Hopefully)
Until then
Harvest has stopped.

This morning we finished up all the irrigation on the farm.
All the pastures are wet, all the alfalfa fields, and my lawn
I got all my hose picked up and stored for that long winter season
I cleaned out the woodstove and readied the kindling and logs for that time when neither Terry or I can’t handle the cold house anymore
A major winter blast is heading our way. The weather people say Thursday the daily high will be 49* —Winter is coming, just on the edge of sight. Floating in the jet stream ready to develop into reality.
Forcing us to wave warm lovely days farewell.
