There are certain rites of autumn that bring us great pleasure. For some, it's the back-to-school ritual. For others, it's the return of football, the approach of the hunting season, or digging out your favorite sweater. This year, for me, the ritual that brings the greatest sense of relief was the "round-up ritual," otherwise known as time-to-go-back-to-your-own-farm LeSueur ten.
Thanks for the lessons, gals. Have a nice winter in St. Peter!
Of course, the round-up ritual opens the door
to other fall pleasures, like hosting weekend guests
Tony and Shannon, wine in the park, an impromptu
apple pie made from backyard fruit,
and preserving fresh sweet corn
to enjoy during the deep cold of winter.
It may not be Lake Wobegon, yet here,
all the women are smart...the men, good looking.
