A slight frost on the pumpkins, a full moon, and a clear blue sky spell October. It makes me want to spend time outside. I am hoping now, with the cooler temperatures, we’ll get some fall colors coming in a little stronger. The bright colors of fall are like a grand hurrah to the growing season that calls me to slow down and simply enjoy it.
My job here includes a lot of planning. I find it hard these days to spend time in the office. I want to be outside! This week I had a lot to do in the office, and it was so pretty outside. I thought it would be great to have a mini greenhouse for an office. See and feel the sun, have it full of tropical plants, have sides open to feel the breeze, etc. But it’s like I was told as a boy, if wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.
Many of our summer crops are over; we are cleaning the fields, discing down the weeds, and planting cover crops. There is something satisfying about closing up another growing season. It is sad to see the corn and field tomatoes etc., come to an end. But there’s always next year! The good Lord willing. And it’s fun to plan for next year’s crops!
You all take care and enjoy the moments that make up your day,
~Ethan Weber
