Well, I’d guess I should stop being in denial and face facts that the cold weather is on the way. I did my annual ritual of digging up the front yard garden today to make room for a shipment of firewood which is slated for delivery tomorrow; the wood gets dumped in my front yard and my son and I haul and stack it in the back and on the front porch. And I’m always surprised that–despite my lack of weeding–so much grows on it’s own. The above and below pictures are just some of the things I found hiding in my mini garden jungle…I see tomato sauce and sauerkraut in my near future. It’s odd, though, how fast time flies; it seems like summer just started and now I sit typing these words while I warm next to a wood stove. It won’t be long before I’m posting about how cold and snowy it is…
