The Maine fall has been quite mild. This is the latest I have dug my gladiolas and dahlias. I haven't even planted my garlic. We just pulled our 3 season porch screens out and put in the walls and windows. I still have quite a list of random things to do outside before winter. There are still a few things in the garden to eat and I am still working daily to put up food for winter (pears have been my focus the last two weeks). Our fires inside have been few and our outside after dark enjoyment has been more than usual. The wind was coming from the North last night and the temperature shift was striking. I welcome the colder and darker months, they are a fine reprieve from my days filled with garden and food preservation work. Board games, fireside books, sewing projects and snuggly animals coming right up, and I'm delighted. I love the change of seasons and I'm *almost* winter ready.
