watching the changes

henry, catnapping in the meat loaf position at "a bit of earth".

we are wearing our florescent orange scarves as we work outside,
because today is the first day of deer hunting season.
 pick up trucks dot the sides of our quiet road,
and we hear the crack of rifles echo down the valley.

the leaves are gone from the trees,
and all the bird and critter nests stand out against the sunny sky.
the drying seed pods create a tapestry of texture in the fields,
there are endless and gorgeous shades of brown.

"winter's closin' in..." -tom rush


the sky will be clear and cold tonight, 
so we'll bundle up and take the telescope out. 
rice and black beans from the freezer for supper.

what changes are you watching at your house?

  2. See if you can get some deer jerky from someone...some of the teachers in Winchester gave me some when I was student teaching and it was tasty!

  3. leaves on some of the trees - gorgeous!
    the screens are down and the windows washed
    a blazing fire with my crossword puzzle and morning coffee
    lazy dog snoozing, nose is colder and wetter these days!
    fuzzy socks - no more bare toes
    soft, warm blankets
    night night...

  4. I feel so sad to see autumn slip away, and the leaves falling from the trees. I want to some how grab on and not let it go....
