A Hint Of Color Heading Down The Driveway
It's hot and dry and still feels like summer, but last week's cold snap hinted at the cozy days and cozy food to come, and we let out our annual Summer Sigh Of Relief. This morning I paused long enough to take a good look around and realized that the wooded walls that make up our little valley are quietly changing from green to yellow. A pleasant breeze sends lazy flurries of tiny leaves onto the grass.
The calendar says autumn is here. The farm says soon. Very soon.

The swamp maples ( those are the ones that, naturally, grow in low, wet ground) are turning - they always go first around here. Autumn never fails to thrill me - even though I know that fffreeezing weather isn't too far behind....
