 It is September, cool for the day even so.  I needed to wear a fleece jacket when I went out. It seems to have triggered my lizard brain and I bought far too many vegetables at the farmers' market today.  Winter is coming.  We have grocery stores and a big enclosed market, and food comes from all over in trains and trucks and ships.  But my back brain only knows that the farmers here will be done soon, and will close up shop and I have to get all the nutrients I can before the days get short and the nights grow cold.

So, Kale and peppers and cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes in assorted colors.  Crimini mushrooms and string beans and corn on the cob.  Plums and peaches and radishes, and some angel food cake from the gluten free bakery stand.  Can't go wrong with the farmer's market!

Given what the weather was like last year and this summer here (no snow, and LOTS of rain, respectively) it's going to be interesting to see what this winter turns out like.

The way the weather's been, winter is a total crap shoot. I'm hoping for snow, enough that it comes up to my knees--I head out while it is still falling and join the other snow revelers at the park. Rain is miserable, but I really hate ice and we had a lot of that last year. Not as bad as one year I was teaching at Temple, though. I lived on a small side street and the ice showed up in early November. We didn't see the street again until May--it was almost June before all the ice was gone. I'm really hoping we don't get a repeat of that. But one awesome snowstorm would be fun.

In the meantime, giving Hurricane Irma the stink-eye.
