Fall......Kinda, Sorta

From what I understand for most of the country, fall has arrived.

Well here at the farmette, that might be debatable.  It's getting cooler, somewhat.  The nights are even coolish.  The days are still a bit hot though.  Still up in the 80s, although its finally in the low 80s.  After the high 90s all summer, we thing we're doing well to get 82.  "They" do say that it's going to start going down more next week.  We'll see.

In the meantime, we haven't had rain in so long that instead of the leaves turning colors, they are simply dying and falling off.  I hate it when that happens.  We are getting a touch of color here and there though.

But work on the farmette continues no matter what the time of year it is.  After we dug up the garden at the end of the growing season, we proceeded to throw out all the mustard, collard and turnip seeds that we could find.  Add a couple of sprinklers and we are beginning to see a payoff.

We'll be canning them up soon to last us after the cold weather does actually show up.  Good eating on a snowy day with a pan of cornbread added to the mix.  Yum.
