A lovely autumn, and the harvest season is underway. Fields are being sheared of their crops, and the landscape changes every day as I look out the window. Although the farm is closed for the season, I continue to work every day, mostly propagating plants, but also saving seeds and eliminating weeds. I'm still enchanted by the intense colors of the dahlias, the abundant verbena, colorful asters, and heaps of boltonia and Joicus daisies. At this time of year, our eyes drift upwards from the gardens to note the brilliant colors of the trees. We are tidying up the gardens, getting ready to mulch them for the winter rest they deserve. I'm also pouring over catalogs and making lists of items to order for the Barn Shop for next spring. It's still a busy, busy season, but at least I have a bit more time for reading and computer work! I can't believe the season has already ended. Each year seems to pass more quickly!
