Just before the frost...

f

Market Sunflowers

The past few  days have been a golden reprieve before the killing frost hits.

 The sweet tangerine tomatoes on my one and only plant have hung on in the autumn winds and the blossoms are still reaching for the fading sun. 

Going  to the Monona Farmer's Market yesterday was a feast for the eyes and an anticipated delight for the appetite.

There was an abundant display of a beautiful and varied harvest, made available for those of us who could purchase.

By mid-week we've been advised the hard frost will arrive and the harvest will end.

As I enjoy this bounty of the earth, 

I pledge to remember the many who did not

have the resources available

to share this delight.
