It was warm today, those last Indian Summer days are upon us. Still, the markets and my garden reflect the change of the season. Stone House bakery had apple dumplings at the Glenwood market today.

I think it’s great they list love as an ingredient. I did buy one last gasp summer fruit today. A watermelon from TLV.
It will become a watermelon, mint and feta salad tomorrow, and the rest pureed to freeze for watermelon margaritas on the coldest day this winter. If it isn’t summer, we can still pretend.
I whacked down the last of the basil today. The monster basil plants that kept growing.
Some of these plants had stems that reminded me of serious shrubbery.
But the bees really loved the flowers as these plants went to seed.
I did some productive pruning and salvaged a small glass full of cuttings. I have two more ripe tomatoes, and some mozzarella. Definitely caprese salad material here. It may not look pretty but it tastes great.
I stopped at Gorman Farms yesterday after a trip to drop off our pickup. The passenger window gave up the ghost and refused to work. In the down position of course. Parsley and the last of the sun gold tomatoes looked wonderful. The parsley will become pesto with the last of the basil. The tomatoes. Those are candy. We eat them right out of the box.

Loving that change in weather, with the change in fruits and veggies. My favorite time of year.
