It’s a warm fall day, there’s still some berries in the field, but the leaves are turning red and curling at the edges. Aromas of leather, hay and old timbers come from a nearby barn, carried on a soft breeze that cuts the heat of the early afternoon sun. It’s a comforting memory of summer, but the cooler days are in sight. Smoke comes from the farmhouse chimney, but the far away aromas are nearly imaginary.
