The Light of Autumn Evenings




The bright, yet softly diffused, autumn light at sunset is making the transition to this season before winter much more pleasant.  We are still adjusting to the chill in the air and the rain, but we are feeling blessed as we have prayed for this rain for about six weeks.  The gardens are winding down, but apple picking is going strong.  We are preparing for the Shearing of the Lambs and the Turning in of the Rams, the two pivotal autumn activities here on the farm that are conducted with much fanfare and excitement.

  4. OH I just wish I was over with you observing all these activities. When I think that once, the Cotswolds would have been alive with all these activities. We have more apples than we know what to do with and sadly commercial apple orchards are being grubbed up. I look forward to reading more of your Autumn (Fall) activities.
