Hello September..I have been waiting for you..
all images are mine unless stated: apples, sunset
We wrapped up our harvest earlier this week and the rains have been falling ever since. Some people I know are going through the heatwave we experienced two weeks ago but for us, its dark and raining and its starting to really feel like Fall. The leaves here at the farm are already turning their golden hues, I find myself drawn to the tree rows once more to watch their beautiful show. Hudson and I spend a lot of time out there exploring and I love that he constantly bends down to pick up a yellow leaf and hand it to me..something tells me I will start keeping a collection of his Autumnal finds. Yesterday was the first day Adam was able to spend at home with us in a very long time, it was absolutely glorious! The boys played and giggled while I made homemade meals and cozied up under sweaters and blankets. Of course I kept the windows open most of the day because the smell of a Fall rain is just to good to ignore. But I won’t pretend the furnace wasn’t running later on in the day either..its steady hum of heat felt more comforting then anything I have experienced these last few months and a part of me was looking forward to the snow (crazy I know but they were talking about it on the Weather Network today in some areas so I couldn’t resist…go Canada! lol)
September is often known as the bridge from Summer to Fall for many people (Fall isn’t officially here until September 23rd) but for me..its already Fall! I can feel it in the air and I can see it in the yellowing of the trees. Pumpkins are already available for sale and the ones in my garden are just about ready for picking as well..
I don’t know if we have seen the last of the “hot” days but that certainly wouldn’t bother me much! This rainy weekend will pass and then the sun will come back out to a much cooler day and that is my kind of perfection in every way. So here’s to Mother Nature casting a golden hue upon the countryside, to cooler days and apple pies, pumpkin patches and corn mazes..here’s to my favourite season of all…FALL!
