Faster than whatever Joe just saw
Faster than Simon was able to start the truck
So fast I was only able to grow micro-vegetables
And we only had one afternoon to pick 20 lbs of mushrooms
but woo hoo! a dozen wok loads for the freezer
Joe and I had just one weekend for a getaway south past Denali
so fast that by the time we got home again the leaves were turning
and the skies are getting dark
and you can't just pretend fall isn't happening when fireweed looks like this on the way to the outhouse
We'd driven through every kind of weather and saw full on summer down in Homer
only to come back to ripe fall in Fairbanks
a neighbor gave us these nice tomato plants just before the frost
Winter is around the corner.
But we have wood. And skis, and sweaters. And wine. And lots to celebrate.
