Autumn’s Balance
Autumn is a time of balance. That occurs in these quiet moments of tidying up the garden and in the frantic canning of pears when they all reach peak ripeness at once. It is a time of serene porch-sitting with hot tea and daily picking of raspberries before they mold. The nights get dark earlier, the chickens go to roost sooner and the evenings are more leisurely, but as long as the sun is shining we are harvesting, preserving, wrapping up projects, and preparing for winter at a constant, at times relentless, pace. I love it.
