“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.
It would be terrible if we just skipped from September to November, wouldn’t it?
Look at these maple branches. Don’t they give you a thrill—several thrills?”
-Anne of Green Gables
After a beautiful hot summer, the lovely Autumn is gently easing us into a season of cooler months. and I’m so in love with this season. The garden is wrapping up, the food is being stored safely in our cellar for winter, we are doing as many outdoor projects to wrap up the end of the year during a warm spell outside. On my list to do this week is gathering rosehips at the seashore, planting our garlic, gathering flower seeds from the garden, painting one last window frame, planting some more raspberries and blueberry bushes, and harvesting many more herbs from the garden for teas and cooking.
Things may just slow down for a little bit with the first frost … and while I enjoy every season, but I must say, Autumn is one of my favourites … the chill in the morning and the cozy fires, the delicious foods and warm homes, the fresh, crisp air … yes, I am so glad to savour every day of October.
Our family has started a business which takes us to the local farmer’s market every weekend. I will share more later but it’s an answer to prayer and I’m very excited for what the future will have in store! How is your fall coming along? I hope you are taking time to enjoy this beautiful season.
