The garden is not very cheerful right now. The tomatoes are browning and sagging, the squash is sprawling long and lean, and even the chickens seem to be slowing down. They have slowed to one egg a day between the three of them. Is it because they miss my attentions?
With school in full swing and the house empty from 6:45 to 4:30, it seems everything has entered a transition. At first it makes me sad, longing for the summer and the hours of time to devote to the yard. Then I must remind myself that it is the beginning of something new, and with a little elbow grease, I can shift into this next phase. Rip out the old and plant the new. The compost is ripe, the broccoli and celery seeds are sitting in their pretty packages on the kitchen counter. It is just me who needs a kick in the butt!
