Used to hear the clang on the tin roof of the garage and new it was time to be out gathering.<br /><br />But we haven't been able to tame the yard enough to know if they are falling this year. I expect they are as we have had a few nights in the upper 40s.<br />The Golden Rod is very pretty. Wish I knew more about herbal medicine.<br /><br />Setting the heat would not be amiss. If it doesn't get cold, no problem; but if there should be a freak storm, you would be ready.<br /><br />You all be safe and God bless.LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14404262.post-91976964130924985682021-10-18T06:54:27.769-07:002021-10-18T06:54:27.769-07:00The last week as I work on my greenhouse, the squi...The last week as I work on my greenhouse, the squirrels have been up in a nearby walnut tree picking the nuts and allowing them to crash to the ground where I assume they collect them later.

In fact, I would argue that becoming more at peace precisely at the moment that more people people are becoming agitated will draw more interest than acting like the panicking crowd.Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14404262.post-34801364870283171522021-10-18T04:18:50.792-07:002021-10-18T04:18:50.792-07:00As we face the winter of our discontent, it is imp...As we face the winter of our discontent, it is important to remember the larger cycles on this earth. It seems bleak, but just as winter follows fall, hopes springs eternal. We are just dropping our leaves. The chaos that we perceive is just the changing of the cycles.
