Our fall season is long, though the sun won't be strong enough to ripen summer veggies for much longer. Now we have lots of lettuce, spinach and kale in the ground, and broccoli, carrots, cabbage and cauliflower, too. The broccoli is beautiful!<br /><br />Still trying to convince the Man that we need chickens ...<br /><br />Love your description of the cottonwood tree like an old man going gray!<br /><br />xofrances<br /><br />Left-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-78004036000972651502013-09-27T20:48:33.201-06:002013-09-27T20:48:33.201-06:00I enjoyed reading about all the doings around your...I enjoyed reading about all the doings around your ranch. Fall here is a lot like spring...not quite so hot, but still pretty warm and toss in pesky allergies. Ragweed and mountain cedar = aaachooo.

There are some big plain states between us, sparsely populated with trees, so maybe that nasty bug won't be able to make the jump. Sounds like you're getting ready for winter and it all sounds so lovely!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-11409564387374094602013-09-26T23:10:27.668-06:002013-09-26T23:10:27.668-06:00I feel the same way...I am cherishing each tomato ...I feel the same way...I am cherishing each tomato and sprig of basil that I cut up for a salad or stew.

It is my favorite time of year. Oh yeah, don't forget hunting and butchering. I am not looking forward to the snow on Friday. Hopefully, it will be fleeting. I enjoyed the post. You may have even inspired me to stain the back deck.

We're kind of in the other corner of the nation. Whereas you are sad to see summer leave b/c your winter is so long ... we are the opposite. Our winter is gone is such a quick flash, and summer seemed endless. Endlessly hot, buggy, wearying ... :) Oh, how I adore fall when the cool weather comes! I love the drop in humidity, and that I can walk outside and bike and feel so comfortable. The idea of wearing something other than shorts and tank tops (and still sweating). All that description in your last paragraph - yes! All those replacements sound lovely :)M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-1894080726429412572013-09-26T17:52:05.593-06:002013-09-26T17:52:05.593-06:00Your marigolds look quite happy !
