Who, What, Where, Now!

The Harvest Party

Yesterday, as the chill approached, I harvested apples, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, masses of carrots and a fraction of the tomatillos. Depressing? Well, yes—I am a lover of the warm weather. But it was also satisfying. Look at all that food! I just hope it doesn’t all go bad. With the snow and wind, happy autumn! And here’s to the good life.
