True, 10 more days until the election is over. But that's not what my article is about.
I'm talking garden. We had our first frost the other night. That did in the tomatoes. But I covered some plants, so I'll continue to have some for awhile.
My potatoes--both regular and sweet--are out of the ground. A couple of sweets were the size of footballs! I don't like them that large. Need to invite all my mybloggers friends to help eat them.
I'm still harvesting several frost-hardy veggies: parsnips and carrots, peas, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, chard, and Brussel sprouts. I made "freezer" slaw with a head of cabbage yesterday. My 15 cubic foot freezer can hold no more food. I'm going to have to dehydrate my oncoming pear crop. In fact, I'm planning to bake a pear upside-down cake later today. Never tried that before.

Still splitting and stacking firewood. It's been cold enough to begin heating the house with it. Drying out my black walnuts on top of the wood burner. Hickory nuts are pretty wormy this year.
Autumn colors are terrible this year--worst in my memory. My trees are still mostly green. Usually by now, the leaves are falling. Blame it on global warming or George Bush! Enjoy your weekend, wherever you may be.
