Happy fall equinox! I am always in highest spirits when this day rolls around again, but this year it’s almost a life changing event to move into this new and my favorite season. Even if the temps are going to mid-80s, even if I have a hundred things to get done on the farm right now, it’s a turning and I’m happy.
This week I saw a double rainbow that held a lot of meaning for me too, and I’m grateful for that as well.
I was already stopped to turn so I had the perfect chance to photograph it.
On the farm: the deciduous trees are starting to look like they’re considering dropping some leaves. The lush green of summer is fading a bit and the dogwoods are already turning colors. The fall flowers (asters, goldenrod, NY ironweed, mistflower) are blooming, and we have a huge crop of maypops along the front porch this year.
Apache is one more month healthy, the herd is happy, and the cats and dogs are doing well.
I have returned to an older writing project after a creative brainstorm at Weymouth and will be doing a final edit of a trilogy that I’ve now condensed into one longer novel. This one has a TV pilot episode all but finished and I’d like to move these out as I move into fall.
I have a couple of short pieces out on submission and that feels good too.
There’s a breeze blowing over the farm, I’m washing the next-to-last horse blanket today, and other than that my only plan is to relax.
Welcome, autumn!
Autumn is my favorite season. It just feels so good to be cooler and enjoy the changing colors on the trees.
