CRISP FALL WEATHER
November 2nd, 2009 by gbw. No Comments.
It really feels like fall outside today. Cool and breezy and it smells crisp and ripe with a bright blue sky. All this is an appreciated change from three more inches of rain falling last week and that is when I stopped looking I am sure the the mist on Saturday added to that. This fall is fitting in with the patterns of weather for the summer… one extreme to another with it being very warm a week ago and it is in the low 50s today.
Preperation for winter is our fist thought now with fences to place and shelters to be repaired and weatherproofed. When the rain keeps us inside we make cheeses to carry over for the coming winter farmer’s market season ( I can’t wait to cut the goat milk gouda with smoked peppercorns). We just finished with the regular New Paltz farmer’s markets and will continue at Cold Spring and SUNY up to Thanksgiving followed by Winter Sun Farms monthly markets December -March. We learned this week in Cold Spring that they are working on pulling together a winter market on the grounds of a nearby state park that sounds beautiful. We will participate at the Cold Spring winter market in on rotation with our other winter venues.
Back to work… with the time change it gets dark very early.
