Week 16!!!

I have some if it still,
We gathered on the hill,
In an empty glass, the bunch of wild thyme,

Faded now, and dried,
But in which yet abide
Some purple, a smell of summer in its prime,

When we stopped the car
Bought honey in a jar
At a roadside stand. It makes me think about

The theft of bloom, the sting,
A swiftness on the wing,
Things that sweetness cannot be without.

36 degrees last night, one month from our average first frost date!  Too soon, too soon, of course, but what else might be expected in the never-ending whacky weather parade.  That cool air will sweeten the greens, however, so for that we are thankful.

In this week's share:

Tomatoes...getting near the end...
peppers
chard or arugula
noodle beans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
microgreens--pea shoots, radish, kale, cress!!!
salad mix-various baby greens and some baby spinach
parsley
peaches or apples or pears

At the stand: more of those awesome mushrooms!
Red Jacket strawberry jam!!!
More concord grapes!
Last of my broccoli
Ground cherries!!!

Eat well!
