First, please accept my condolences for your loss of Georgie. You have moved me with your story and sated me with your figurative language. I wonder, could someone who has never lived on farm, or at least experienced one, feel the full depth of your writing? It went to my very core. Loved "warms again my optimism."
I'd have given you six stars, but for a few minor technical issues, mostly a matter of proofreading.
I believe Mr. Deere's Gator should be capitalized.
You have a few spots where you either need to pull up an unintended line break, or insert a paragraph line space.
Para. 2 came s/b come
Para. 3, line 2 -- did you mean "by" an early winter?
Para. 4 is s/b "are" okra and
Thank you so much for posting this. It fed my soul.

What a beautiful commentary on Autumn, I enjoyed reading it very much.
I love your ending: "I see the seasons change, and the colors fade, like the pain in life. But the love lasts, and the friendships last. The memories, like the brightest of the leaves of October, blow across the yard, and through my mind.
And my eyes are full, and born each time, of their beauty."
