No posts since September 23rd? Must be the weather. I think the weather was cloudy and rainy all last week. Every day. Clouds and rain and cold. And on Friday many places in Minnesota and Wisconsin had snow. In fact, Leann took this picture as she was going through Barnum, MN, on her way home from Rochester on Friday:
This weekend was the big Bayfield Apple Fest--a whole weekend of apple treats, apple orchards, parades, music and all in idyllic Bayfield. The weather this year was almost a carbon copy of last year with the cold, rain and winds. Not so idyllic for Fest visitors but Lake Superior was really showing off for all the guests!
And today, we had sunshine! So we took the opportunity to start putting away some of our garden spots for the winter. And here are some of our carrots. We REALLY need a root cellar because we haven't even started with the potatoes.
Several times in the last two weeks I've picked what I thought would be the last tomatoes before a frost, but still no frost. So we have tomatoes spread out in various flat surfaces around the house, all in shades of greenish-yellow to actual red, ripe tomatoes. I canned another 13 pints yesterday and will be able to do that a couple more times. And then we'll put the rest out by the road with a "Free" sign.
Late this afternoon, we took a ride in Cammie up into the meadow behind our house. It was very wet from all the recent rain but we wanted to catch some last colorful maple trees before all the leaves are gone. And the sun was shining, the sky was blue...in case this is the only sunny day we'll have!
I suppose the trees are just as pretty on cloudy days, but it was nice to see the sun!
