When The Frost Is On The Pumpkin……

There is a great deal of comfort in the rhythm of the seasons ….spring to summer, summer to autumn, autumn, to winter, and the white icy coat on my grass this week was confirmation of that phenomenon.

We all have our favorite seasons, and I must say, Autumn has much to offer as the winner. Trees busting in color, temperatures not too hot or too cool, harvesting the bounty of the earth, football games, and the heating and cooling bills go down!!

Personally, I got my portable electric heater out for the bathroom, put on my flannel sheets, and got out my down comforter, just in case! The Shenandoah Vally can throw us a curve in weather patterns every now and then, but traditionally, we have a very tolerable climate in all seasons. So if you are a product of this garden of Eden, or a pilgrim who navigated here, thank your forbears or your good sense in your ability to snuggle down and enjoy the crisp mornings and cool nights of a Shenandoah Valley October.
