\"photo-189\"<\/a>The cold is coming. It hasn\u2019t reached us yet, but the rain ahead of it knocked the maple leaves to the ground en masse last night. I don\u2019t mind the chill so much as the moving away from this week\u2019s sweet foggy mornings. The gauzy curtains of mist were comforting and protective, setting up a make-believe border of quiet and stillness around the farm, letting me wander from one lazy farm chore to the other without compulsion, as if time were suspended.<\/p>\n

\"photo-217\"<\/a>It is all about the landscape now, this slow march to winter. I can\u2019t take my eyes off the shifting shapes and colors and textures that nature randomly yet gracefully offers up on a daily, hourly, almost minute-by-minute basis.<\/p>\n

\"photo-219\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My good camera is still broken, but that hasn\u2019t stopped me from exploiting the phone camera. Fuzzy images or not, they must be taken. I have to grab some of these moments. Especially the ones where a little girl (who\u2019s not so little any more) wanders into the frame.<\/p>\n

\"photo-187\"<\/a>A good farm chore to do together: Removing tomato clips from the trellis while listening to music on the iPhone. First song up, of all things, Gabriel\u2019s Oboe<\/a> (the beautiful theme from the movie The Mission<\/i>).\u00a0Don\u2019t worry, lest you think this is a bit morose for a 12-year-old, Taylor Swift was up next on the playlist. And a little basketball practice. (Next sport for Libby this winter.) More fun tossing those little clips into the bucket from a distance, don\u2019t you know.<\/p>\n

\"photo-185\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Watching Libby grow up is like observing nature. There are so many subtle shifts that you don\u2019t notice if you\u2019re not paying close attention. And then one day a season has passed and a whole new one is right there, undeniably. It is stunning and heart-achy at the same time. Why can\u2019t time stand still? I never used to think that\u2014I was always projecting into the future, looking for something to come. Now, not so much. What is right here, right now is the best.<\/p>\n
