October is history and November is upon us! Daylight savings time has ended and it will be dark sooner each evening. This time of year carries with it both a sense of urgency and a sense of relief. Urgency in trying to finish up on the projects list before winter sets in and makes many outdoor tasks difficult or down right impossible. Relief comes, however, in knowing fall and winter tend to bring a slowing down for us on the farm. It never stops, of course, as there is always something to be done. Perhaps its the shifting of work from outdoors tasks to inside work that has been set aside for several weeks that makes being 'home' so much more desired for us.
Evenings can now begin a little earlier. Dinner time consists of those warm comfort foods like vegetable soup or a big pot of beans. There is just something magical about the smell of firewood, soup and something baking in the oven. Summer time just cannot compete with how much more relaxed fall and winter are on the farm. While the joys of summer are coming to a close, we look forward to a time of refreshing that this next season brings.
