It's a dance this time of year. The ground freezes white every night and by mid-morning it's green again - steaming and glistening from the melted dew.
Magic.
Soon it will freeze and just f-r-e-e-z-e. It will all be still and hard and we'll wait patiently for snow to come and cover our outdoor projects for the winter so we can truly rest, light our hearth fire and creep deep within ourselves.
Now is a nice time to tidy up those outdoor spaces, tie up loose ends, but the hard work is behind us. The canning, the weeding, the plowing, it's gone by. We have time now to savor the color and the beauty before it goes under along with earth's energy.
