Off we go!

We may have had frost by the time we return. So the weekend was spent bringing in house plants, harvesting the last of the chard, cutting back tomatoes...you know the drill.


Also processing fruits and vegetables so nothing will spoil while we're gone. Wasted food rankles me like nothing else does.

Pears are dried. Applesauce canned. Vegetables are roasted and magically transformed into spicy pasta sauce.


Off we go. There will be no posts for the next two weeks.

Many thanks in advance to friends Biff & Rocky for their cat-sitting services.
