Dear friends & family,
I'm busy canning pears. Soon it will be applesauce, and dried apples. Meanwhile, the zucchini and basil keep coming. I've got the fall feeling inside, even if the weather still insists on summer.
The week at hand is like the garden's abundance: amazing, diverse and abundant. See (below) for yourself.
