Quiet

Samhain                                                           Thanksgiving Moon

The house is quiet.  Kate is gone.  The dogs are at the kennel.  Just me.  I hear the dogs anyhow.  They went looking for Kate this morning.  Absence.  A part of life and death.

Spent the day working on Missing.  Finally put the covers on the bee colonies, too.

We’re pretty much closed up for winter here.  Food put by.  Bulbs planted for next year, including   garlic.  Composted manure added into the soil of beds that saw heavy use this last growing season.  Some leaves yet to add as mulch.  Trees to prune and cut, but that’s winter work anyhow.  Ready for snow.

Gonna get up at 5:30 am tomorrow.  That’s early for me.
