Autumn's end

It's a shame, little piggies, that you missed all the nice weather and got here just in time for the rain and snow. Also a shame that you tore up all the weeds in your pen just in time for today's rain to make it a mud pit.

But your little barn filled with dry straw will surely keep you warm and happy.

I am officially calling an end to autumn up here. I had to pick all my little green heirloom tomatoes because I could no longer protect them under blankets and plastic.

At least I have a recipe from the Barnwells for Fried Green Tomatoes that I am itching to try. And I will do the real version with corn meal, not those Yankee panko bread crumbs.
