Fall into winter is more a time for introverts, I think. I don't have to feel garden guilt because I'm not out there for long hours. Earlier evenings means more time for knitting and watching TV, reading, and putting on snuggly pjs. And I have hopes to soon be holding a warm little grandbaby body (next week!!!!)
September and October mean hurricane preparedness here on the Gulf Coast. Clean out the freezer; gas up the car; load in the non-perishables, water, and batteries. Batten down the hatches, matey!
I was thinking this morning how hard change can be. Two people have moved out of my life this week, and it is hard. One was a co-worker who was wonderful to work with. She took a great new job, full time, with great pay. Her time with us had prepared her for this move, I am thrilled for her. At the same time I am sad. I will miss her presence in our midst. The other parting was abrupt and without the positive overtones of my young co-worker’s leaving. This has also made me sad - and aware of my resistance to change (again). Thanks again for a wonderful newsletter!
I saw a family of young turkeys in a field on my way to church this morning! They looked amazingly like the ones in your video, Amy. Only these were here in Somerset, Virginia.
I think this has been my favorite edition all year! I love Amy's insight and her friends interesting articles and just the feelings that only we, who are fortunate enough to live in a 4-seasons environment, can appreciate. Thank you, ladies!
Fall is my season and I call it 'cozy time'. My husband and I take one final, short trip in our little travel trailer to the mountains to enjoy the changing leaves, the crisp air and solitude. It's my favorite trip. Thanks for a beautifully written piece.

Loved this take on the summer to fall transition. I look at and toss expired spices on New Year’s Day, maybe I should rethink that.

Thanks, Amy. Tom is very concerned for Tampa. It doesn't look good. Cat 4 they're predicting.

As the hours of daylight shorten each day, I feel the stress of compressing my day's outdoor activities outdoors into the available light. .
