We had a brush with frost this morning, but everything seems to be still growing. Too bad... we are almost there! That spring in my step is what Stacy's been calling "Mr. September." It being my favorite month. It being the end of our growing season. It being a good long summer which, having graced us with gifts from the soil, will set in the west on Sunday. It being the Equinox.
Blessings on the Meal.
