A crisp and sunny autumn has blessed the northwest this year. It is mid-November and still vibrant patches of color dress trees and the ground below them. Usually many storms ladened with hard rains and gusty wind dance heavy across this part of world during this season --- but this year is more calm. The days grow shorter as winter approaches but no biting freezes yet.
For us living here this means that the bounty of the fall continues for us. Eugene's farmers market is still going strong -- three days a week with rich harvests of sweet peppers, honey, potatoes, carrots, beets, hardy greens, squash, broccoli, onions, and so much more. Lucky we are!
I often think of autumn and spring as the seasons of color ......... and this year's autumn has proven to be just that.
