Autumn is busy for me, scrambling to bring in the harvest before hard frost ruins everything. Winter arrives quickly and decisively here in the High North. So without further preamble, I leave you with photos and haikus from this week's first (and late, I might add) frost. Now back to my garden; it's supposed to get cold tonight.
Sun cuts through first frost
in gentle reminder that
winter is coming
On sigh of chill wind
the sun warmed curves blush crimson
and fall to the earth
Vines taken by frost
pumpkins glow with autumn's kiss
a call to harvest
