It is feeling rather fallish!!! I love a long and drawn out autumn but have a feeling that this is not the year. It just seems different. My cottonwood trees are shedding a few leaves and am not sure if that is from the heat earlier or... gasp.... fall!!!
Beginning fall clean up chores while nurturing those tomatoes, peppers and beans to keep producing!
Winter is time for the soil to do what the soil does! My job is giving it an environment to do that.
Putting in a new bed so the grass clippings can be doing its thing over the winter.
Watering deeply.
Bringing home from the chicken house and barn bags of manure.
Sprinkling Epson salt on my yard and around the trees.
Pruning and transplanting.
Mulching and protecting.
Tucking everything in for the winter rest.
Fall is a good feeling.
A sense of harvest and warmth. Hope.
