Samhain is the ancient Gaelic tradition of celebrating the harvest and honoring our ancestors for the knowledge. As we are in this time today, we should be grateful for our long growing season that we have here in the Appalachias. I'm preparing tonight for our first frost and picking the last of the tomatoes, plethora of peppers and the tender herbs for drying.

As you all may know, being back in the South I'm relishing in the connection to my roots. Finding that long lost appreciation for this area that I overlooked when I grew up here. I'm lucky to have found my way back and am thankful everyday.

The colors are changing here in the foothills the days are getting shorter.

Let's make the best of the "darkest part of the year" together as we honor the beauty and change happening all around us.
