Complimentary Blueberry Juice

Each season there is a point at which you can no longer do field work. That day has come and passed, and with it, the 2024 season is over.

Humans do many things that are not tied to seasons, or seasonal changes. In my opinion there is great value in tying our actions to seasons and natural rhythms. Moving with the changes really makes one feel in sync. We do not live separated from the physical realities of the changes our planet goes through and the cycles of life that change around those physical realities, even if we as humans have created things that appear to exist outside or above these realities, such as jobs, stock markets, or “commerce.”

I feel these changes most distinctly immediately after and immediately before the winter dormancy. In the spring when the first photosynthetic plants return from dormancy, and when the first snow falls.

Winter arriving has a finality to it that is very stark.

Maybe the bears have it figured out best….it’s time to sleep. Wake me up in a few months.

For me though, it’s reading season.
