Despite the continuing days of heat, I have noticed a change in the weather. I can feel it at night and in my bones and I know summer is beginning it’s decline. The gardens are showing it too, as the fall squash, potatoes, onions and Brussels sprouts begin to ripen. Corn is coming too, but I’m not making any promises about when. We’ll surprise you! Enjoy the beginnings of fall bounty.
