There will be many a gardener out this weekend pulling the last of the root crops and nothing beats carrots or beets cold and freshly taken from the soil at this time of year. The compost needs to be turned and spread, the remainder of the apples need to be picked now that they are sweeter after the first few frosts and the initial glut of leaves needs raking and putting into the newly emptied compost bin. The garden takes on a different beauty at this time of year with the sun low in the sky creating long shadows beside the fiery palate of fall.
If gardening is not your thing, you can't beat a hike to enjoy one of our local great viewpoints overlooking our deciduous forests as they shed their summer cloak to reveal their simple winter form.
