waning summertime

a lovely juxtaposition.

an early autumn maple leaf/late summer lettuces.

i harvested chard, purple carrots, lettuces, mache and tomatoes

at the gardens at our "bit of earth" this morning

and along with the last of the wax beans and some frozen blueberries

the cooler was full of deliciousness.

now unpacked and stowed in our fridge here in connecticut.

this weekend, we flexed our middle aged muscles
and stacked firewood...

some in the woodshed to fuel our home comfort,

and some in our nifty new sugar shack.

now we're back in the "real" world.

o.k.
what's next, september?
