The sunrise was absolutely gorgeous this morning. The fog was layered out of the east and northeast.
As the hour passed, the fog moved inward, dispersing thicker before starting to disappear. The chill in the air is, what I call, "camping weather." It's just cold enough to want to curl up in a hoodie or jacket, and sit around a warm campfire enjoying nature. I love it!

Gardening Season Ends ~ Others Begin
The kids went back to school this week, except for my college daughter. Unfortunately, she had to withdraw from this semester, even after buying all her books and preparing. The balance leftover after all her loans and financial aid, could not be paid by her nor us. The monthly payment for the balance was way too high for her (or us) to pay as well.
Mornings are rather quiet, but exceedingly demanding. I have been catching up on watering flower beds, dead-heading flowers, weeding, checking the tomatoes, and so forth. Not to mention putting up the last of the 20 pounds of blueberries. All of the onions are pulled, except for the red onions. Half were rotten, and what was left, were very small.
