Days of wondering through the garden to choose what to make for dinner are long gone, and what is left out there is certainly not growing. But it is fresh and waiting to be picked before the snow covers it for winter.
Carrots, turnips, daikon, watermelon and beers friend radishes, kohlrabi, cabbage, kale, collards, bok choy, leeks, onions, spinach and one last cutting of mixed salad greens are waiting for that special moment.
Inside there's squash and pumpkin poking out of all corners, potatoes tucked into buckets of saw dust (I managed to sweep up as the carpenters work around my insanity), and dry beans and dry corn for cornmeal, although I have yet to buy a grain mill. Endless jars of fruity jams are waiting to be displayed in my almost done (really almost done this time) NEW KITCHEN, and a few special collections of summers best chillin' in the freezer.
Can't help but think of Greg Brown............who makes me weak in the knees.
