And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. - Sylvia Plath

Garden Harvest
Maybe I just don't know much about gardening (which is true), but it seems strange to me that I'm still getting produce from my garden in mid-October in Illinois. And it's not just the winter squash either. I'm still picking chard, tomatoes, peppers, and summer squash. I'm not complaining about the food, I made a really yummy chili tonight with those tomatoes and peppers. But mid-October? We usually have our first snow by now.

My memory of the summer-fall-winter transition in the Chicago suburbs: hot and humid end of summer weather lasting into mid or late September, followed by a week to ten days of mild fall weather, after which the arctic winds blow through, the leaves turn brown and fall off the trees in the space of about a day and a half, and the six-month winter has arrived.
Well it couldn't possibly be a result of global warming. Everyone knows that's just a hoax. ;-)
