Where did summer go? That is always the first question I ask myself during this time of the year. The nights are getting colder and we are starting to leave windows open; once again feeling that crisp fall air first thing in the morning when I wake up. It is also the time of year when we wonder when the first frost will come and when the harvest season will come to a close. It is the time of year when wonderful scents waft through the house as Ed cans all sorts of salsa, hot sauce, sauerkraut and more! All to be brought with him to the New Ulm Farmer's Market. The best part is being his taste tester!
Since the weather has begun to change, I have been able to see him more at home as things out in the field slow down. It is going to be interesting this winter when I see him all day, everyday instead of maybe for a brief stint in the morning and dinner at night. Harvest still takes us most, if not all day to complete and will begin to come to a close after our first frost...whenever that may be. We are hoping that we can stretch the season into the first part of October, but only Mother Nature knows how long it (harvest) will last. I don't even want to think about how cold it's going to get in just a few short months, so although fall is my favorite time of year it also is the saddest knowing winter is just around the corner.
