FALL ON THE FARM
The shadows grow a little longer in the afternoon. The mornings are slightly crisper. The breeze in the afternoon has a different smell. Fall is coming to the farm.
The hay for the winter is stored in the barn; wood is stacked neatly in the wood shed. It is a time of abundance on the farm. The garden is producing like crazy. Would anyone like some Zucchini, Please! This is the time to enjoy the fresh fruits and vegetables and also to put some away for the winter ahead.
Harvest in the vineyards has begun. The bright green, almost neon growth of spring in the vineyards has been replaced by a darker deeper green of maturity. Now if you look deep into the canopy not only do you see this years beautiful crop of grapes, but also the first few yellow leaves of fall.
The vines are beginning to sense it will soon be the end of this years work on the grapes. The anticipation of harvest is making Bill and Fred a little crazy. We can't wait!
We hope that all our friends and family are able to get out and enjoy this beautiful fall season. Enjoy this bountiful time of year. Crisp fall apples, fresh vegetables and amazing fall colors.
From our Farm to you,
Bill
