Lots of stuff in the garden is past it's prime.  Most of the cucumber plants have expired.  The squash is barely holding on.  The tomatoes still have a ways to go and the flowers are a little past peak.
So now the work begins.  I have to pull the old plants, weed the asparagus and mulch.  I love going into Winter with a cleaned out garden.  It gives me hope that I can keep up with the weeding come Spring.
It's time to start knitting.  I've got to make a bunch of holiday gifts. 
I just love Autumn.  I feel invigorated and purposeful.
