Final Harvest

I'm so glad the first frost came on a day that gave me a full Saturday to work. Seven hours of hard labor in the morning (part of which while being snowed on), and 6 hours of canning and preserving in the night, to crash happy and satisfied at 1:30 a.m. I picked all the apples, the grapes, the squash, the remaining tomatoes, the remaining corn, and replanted the basil and the mint in pots.

It was a happy, exhausting day. Pictures will come soon.
