Here at the farm, fall has come and almost gone. The foliage has been beautiful this year--lots of yellows, reds, and browns. The weather has been usually cool--hope that isn't a sign of a long, cold winter. The cool weather has been welcomed by the "deer slayers." The wood has been burning in the fireplace for about three weeks now. Most falls, we don't even have a fire in the fireplace until Thanksgiving week. I can always hope spring will come early.
