All The Leaves Are Brown

And the sky is grey...

Stick season is here. It's cool today and the stove is fired up. My best friend is filling up the barn with the last of the seasoned firewood. Storm windows are on, garden beds are tucked in and the valley is quiet.

Perfect for a Sunday afternoon and a good book.

  2. I look forward to reading some of Beston's books, The Outermost House and Northern Farm. I believe he had quite a love affair with the earth.
