There are times when winter feels like it plods along but so far it's moving along rather quickly. At least for me it is. It's already mid-January!
I was looking through photos of our October trip to Europe, having a wonderful time reminiscing about all the places we visited, the sights, the food, talking with people, the different modes of transportation. Travel sure opens your eyes to a new way of seeing and understanding.
Oops...got a little off track. Right after our return home, I went back to work at the farm. Two more weeks until we closed for the season. The fall colors popped against the October blue sky and the transition toward the quiet, gray winter was slowly happening. A few monarchs hung back to gather pollen as they migrated south, the sunflower tower still stood tall in its realm, while others hid among the leaves. Memories of what was three months ago and visions of what will be in three or so months. It's the endless faith in tomorrow.
Yes, I find that now time just seems to speed by at a great rate of knots. I want to shout out "Slow down! Wait for me!"
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel the same way.
DeleteBeautiful, sunny shots! The cycles just keep moving along.
ReplyDeleteThe sunny shots were what caught my eye. It's cold and gray right now.
DeleteI was noticing bulbs starting to break the surface, and fruit trees in a protected and sunny corner, starting to bud. Early even for here, but a sign of things to come.
ReplyDeleteIt's encouraging to see the signs of things to come. Hope you don't get a hard frost to nip those buds.
