It was all about preparing for winter. There’s no turning back.   Anything that freezes must be removed from the barn and put into the basement crawl space.  Outdoor furniture is loaded into the wagon and carted to the shed in the hosta field.  Electric fences are removed and rolled up and away from snow plow damage.  The netting is removed from sheds. Metal framing moved to the woods.  Canoe and kayaks are stowed onshore along with the big wooden raft.  The wood box is filled and filled again.  So many things to remember.  My full rain barrels and dye station are emptied for the season. The tractors got their chains.  The 6 ft snowblower was installed.  I cut greens and filled the window boxes.  Small balsams strung with white lights were planted in large pots on the deck. It was cold and raw and November gray.  

Saturday, the spinning guild held a zoom meeting.  A mostly regular meeting with many members present.  So wonderful to SEE this group after all these COVID months.  SO many finished projects and new ideas were shared.  

Sunday, I friend shared this on FB.  You might relate.
