We lose minutes of daylight every evening. We gardeners hastily pick our remaining produce, watch the weather reports, and wonder how many more days we can eek out until the killing frost. Some people are geared up for fall, ready to enjoy the cooler weather, hunting, and breaking out the crock pot for soups and stews, while others loathe it. Some rejoice in the winter months, as it’s a chance to bake favorite holiday treats, or be outside ice fishing, snowmobiling, or skiing. Others despise winter and seek a warmer climate, whether at the beach or golf course or under piles of blankets. A person’s lifespan is like the seasons, and no matter what season we are living in, we must value each day.
