Weather Notes
- The colors of the sunrise have changed with the cooler temperatures
- In summer the sunrise was peach and gold behind the green leafy trees
- In early autumn the sky is silver and gray behind the leafy green
- By the middle of the 3rd week the seasonal shift was firmly entrenched, which meant it was time to change our routines.
- Switching most of the cooking from the summer kitchen to indoors.
- Switching garden work to the afternoon and doing indoor projects in the morning
- Migrating Canada geese and hawks. The geese are no problem but we've had at least one hawk keen on trying to catch our chickens.
- Flannel sheets on the bed!
- An extra blanket on the bed.
- Soup season has begun.
- And of course, the first wood fire of the season.

| Getting close to the last of the summer produce as frost could be at any time now. |
 |
| Greens galore: kale, Swiss chard, and collards |
 |
| We've been picking up pecans here and there, but after this week's wind and rain, pecans have be easy picking by the bucketful. |
 |
| Our sweet potato winter squash have been somewhat disappointing. They were late to develop and haven't gotten very big. We only got 8. |
 |
| This one wasn't completely matured so it was selected for eating earlier than the cured ones. We all get some: goats, chickens, and us. |
That's about it for me. First frost any day now! How about you?
