First Greens

Fall doesn't mean the harvest stops. While the summer crops are about done, the greens are thriving. I harvested this small bunch last night, and we put it in homemade chicken soup. It was delicious.

We pruned back the plum tree a bit to make room for the fire pit. In the process we got a serendipitous borrowed view of the dogwood backed by a lovely yellow maple.

Here's another shot of it taken a couple of days ago, showing how vibrantly blue the sky has been. Look now because the forcast is calling for rain by Thursday.
