It’s been so many years since I enjoyed fall. In Florida, it was the time when you might be able to wear a sweatshirt for about an hour in the morning before giving up and peeling it off. It was also a good time to work outside without swimming in your own clothes from accumulated sweat. The red maples would turn, if the days were cold enough, but it was subdued and mild. It was only a mere suggestion of fall.
Not so here in Minnesota. The most intense heat withdraws in September. October gradually cools and the show begins in the southern part of the state and gradually moves north. November is when the snow arrives and the leaves disappear under a frosty blanket. Our farm put on a proud show for the season. True Autumn has been missed.
