Update from the Gardens

The wheat, oats, triticale patch in our flower garden is showing us that the fullness of harvest season is upon us.  We have eaten our first melon and sweet corn, the pumpkins and winter squash are showing striking colors, and the goldenrod is in full bloom.  It seems the bees of all varieties have their finest feast this time of year.  We are hearing their buzz as we crouch in the garden thinning carrots, picking cucumbers, and weeding next year's strawberries.  Everything is putting forth seed and grain for the future and it begs us to begin to form our own distant vision.
