The Fall Harvest

Fall Harvest time is one of my most favorite times of the year. This year we marked Harvest with three small ripe tomatoes (picked when just a show of red), five small green tomatoes and thirty tiny green tomatoes (before the frost) four small yellow summer squash, twelve serrano peppers, four small cucumbers, one cucumber (large enough to make a boat), six small green peppers, and two small green pumpkins (just larger than a baseball). Now you might think, that is not much, but, we were grateful. You see, we have rabbits that sneak in our yard, and now quail and worse yet, we have squirrels. So, you see that it was us racing to get the small veggies, before they were all gobbled up by the critters

Although our roses bloomed a little less this year, at least, they did not get eaten by the critters! They were late blooming, but in September, we were able to enjoy theses and a few other.
