we got our good frost...
down to 28 by Sunday morning...
and the transition from living to dying has begun...
what was blooming the day before is no more in some places...
but the cold did not take it all...
some limbs are bare, some have color...
and some are still green...
we have officially begun the process of the change over...
from more dark than light...
and that dark will steal away the warmth of summer days...
there is still beauty...
from what once was...
and there are still blooms, for now...
this changing time happens so fast most years...
but this fall, for us...
is going slowly...
and without all the rain and dreary days that we usually have...
this week, the sanding begins on the kitchen cabinets...
prep work on the walls...
my boys are going to help a lot here...
and we will knock this out...
and float right through this week of Indian Summer...
with highs near 80...
warmer nights coming...
maybe a fire in the pit or two...
harvest is winding down, finally...
and DH thinks this was the last full weekend to work...
I hope so...
it will be nice having him back...
;0)
enjoy this week...
we won't have many more like them...
