September and the Start of Fall
in the North Country.
There now, Tommy aka Napoleon has downloaded his picture which was
complicated by having to rotate 45 degrees and saving to a file God knows where. He likes to sit on Fred's lap while Fred is online. Like most pets he likes the smell of fresh worn sneakers.MMMM!
We got 12 bags of corn 2 cups each from our corn patch. Was better than we anticipated and all the raccoons are gone. No electric fence needed.
Business is slow on the farmstand. Traffic has been extraordinarily light and we hope if we cut back the gas prices will drop. Still waiting...
The Leaves are Turning
The weather a delight. One of such a few rare days that we recall with smells and feelings of cool mist and big fluffy clouds and long rays of sunshine making orange streaks across red leaves and green remains of spring. Great flocks of blackbirds whirring through the sky flying with one mind, one purpose, one life and together they talk without singing and see with their noses and forget the summer's work behind. Summer's work a tale of rearing and feeding and flying in that order and in rapid succession (to our mortal human concept of time)
The Start of Fall begins the travel beyond the flying to the flying with others, Like our lives beginning as children to when we fly along, the birds grow and then make their own nests here or there and start all over again. Each stage of the journey looks to be planned and I believe it is.
Hope you enjoy your fall flocks and the transition to cooler weather.
Mary
