'Frost On The Pumpkin'

And on almost everything else here at the Manor.  The trees have pretty much fully turned color, (it seems to be a few weeks later than I remember from my childhood), and the leaves are starting small piles in the corners and depressions of the yard.  We've got all of the Halloween decorations taken down* and stored away and are all dressed for Harvest time and Thanksgiving.  One more turn of the wheel.  I supposed it's nice to have the clocks turned back, for the morning.  But in the late afternoon we'll be paying for it. There's no getting around the fact that the shadows are getting longer and coming earlier.  Birds are devouring the seed we've been putting out, and we just unpacked and put out all of the fireplace tools and implements.  It's not quite cold enough (for my tastes) to have a fire, yet.  But soon...
We're now well into late Fall, and the signs are all there for the coming Winter.
