~ August Appears ~

 
 
Hello Friends & Folk!
Happy August (2nd) to us all....
 
not sure about most of you,
but
I am surely ready for Autumn to arrive.
{then again, when am I not?}

I have fall-scented candles burning in this old farmhouse daily...
I was rooting through my closet, dreaming of my baggy jeans, wool sweaters and boots.
even on our walks there are the beginnings of subtle changes in the air, tiny autumnal-nuances 
playing with the colors of the leaves and grasses....

 it's too hot for me to bake bread, or anything remotely resembling what I call 'comfort food';
stews, soups, one-pot suppers and the like.
 

it's ok though, I'm not wishing Summer away ~
I'm enjoying it to the very last drop!
 
we're letting our gardens grow a bit {more} wild for the birds and rabbits,
and watching the bees and butterflies drink their sips of sweet-nectar 
~ from the dewy morning blossoms that are still opening up.

today we harvest corn, squash and tomatoes
to be 'put up' for the Winter months...
...tasty reminders of the Summer's hard work, and early Autumn harvest.

the Wheel just keeps on turning.....
 
 
Blessings from the Farm 
~ Lori
