I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

The colours of autumn.....

October 13, 2022

It is a very busy time of year, getting the gardens cleared and put to bed. We have had a wonderful string of warm, sunny days and frosty nights. 

Here are a few shots of what has been going on here over the last while, as well as some drone shots of the colours around our clearing. It is raining and windy today, and all those beautiful leaves are fluttering down with every gust. The next chore will be collecting them for next year's gardens. Soon we will be under 'bare poles' again. 

The pansy pot soldiers on, visited by a few bumblers, hunting for whatever sustenance is available now.  

The last, later planted broccoli, headed up right on time for Thanksgiving dinner.

The field garden, cleared, edged and ready for next year's bed arrangement.

The raised beds, ready as far as they can go, at this point. We've had frosts, but not one hard enough to finish the brassicas.  


 The morning sun, just starting to light up the tops of the trees behind the garden shed.
The north edge of the clearing behind the barn.
West side,

And cruising towards the 'back forty'.
