Autumn is OFFICIALLY here.
I'm originally from the North East and have spent the last four years in Vermont enjoying the beautiful changes that fall brings. But out in California, the changes are less noticeable. September stays hot, there are no maple trees that turn red and orange, and I don't smell wood stoves in the evening. Today my feelings changed.
It was cold. 55 - 60 around two o'clock. Everett and I were over at the Kelly Thompson Ranch collecting the cows and moving them into a new field. We brought them all into water, then pushed them out into their new feeding ground. When we went to the top of the ranch to check on a spring, it was COLD! The wind was blowing and the fog never moved out. We had to turn the heater on when we got back to the truck!
Little things have been changing around the ranch. Very subtle things. Bright green grass has been slowly emerging under trees and in the fields. The smells of dead leaves is starting to fill the air. It's getting cooler and the breeze now kicks up a storm of leaves. There are multiple flocks of turkeys roaming around. And the sun is setting at 7 in the evening. All these signs point to a different, but definitely real fall that is slowing coming around the corner. And I'm excited for the change!
