Monday Morsels

Mini-morsels this week:  

I've been loving up this beautiful fall weather, doing a lot leaf gazing, not a lot of photo taking.  This past week I stated on some much needed outdoor work: tucking away the garden under seaweed and leaves, harvesting and preserving a few cabbages and beets, curing our small squash harvest, cranberry picking, and starting in on an outdoor project for the coming year--a retaining wall and grape arbor along our some-day orchard.  Its slow going, but I've got three good diggers here to help.  Friday we hauled the picnic table over there for a bit of outdoor art work. We've also been creating autumn bouquets bringing in a few of the leaves to adorn tables and identify at our seasonal table.  Good stuff.
