The battle of wind and rain , October offers her sword in defeat
November , declared victorious , graciously accepts her prize
Morning star bears witness to frost covered valley , painted woodland
Hickory smoke laying at treetop level , the poetic rustle of brown field
Mechanical locomotion , smell of diesel , goose grease and oil
Farm tractors secure the fields of Autumn
The evening Sun hides late afternoon cloud cover on the other side
of the horizon ...
Brilliant orange Moon portends the end of day with her new journey
skyward .
