Autumn is my favourite season, mellow and bright. Still warm at the moment, still a lot of colour in the garden. We have began harvesting squash, a good year for all our vegetables, I have frozen pounds of beans, and during the year have also harvested potatoes, onions, garlic and salad crops. We are still harvesting carrots, beetroots. winter salad leaves mooli and have just began to dig the parsnips.

Debbie, you may not be able to sew or weave right now and I am sorry to hear about your carpal tunnel BUT you stitch together the abundance and beauty of Autumn and weave with words how it is to grow luscious, sustainable food and that is a gift. Autumn sings to me, and it does so quietly and deeply. it too is my favorite season and consider autumn to be the start of my new year probably due to my September birthday. Everything about the season, the autumnal light of the sky, the changing colors that form a tapestry of the season, the crispness of air that quietly swirls as well as dances, all leads us on a path to quieter times, deeper introspection as we settle in...
ReplyDeleteMeant to note that "you stitch together the abundance and beauty of Autumn" with your photos...
DeleteMarti, beautiful words once again, your use of language is so expressive, do you write poetry?
DeleteThanks Debbie. No I don't write poetry and in fact, am not much of a poetry reader; I just love words. Perhaps it stems from learning English as a child. My parents came from Spain to the United States and I grew up in a bilingual household.
