Your cheery ...Welcome back, Anna - I've missed you. Your cheery comments always add so much here. <BR/><BR/>Yes, you read correctly; we are picking lettuce here! We had our first picking for supper on Tuesday. (It's from our fall garden, not a continuation of our earlier crop.)The lettuce grows OH so crisp and good in this cool weather. I think it was the best lettuce I've ever had.<BR/><BR/>The weather here in southern Virginia has only started to feel like fall the past week or so. Where do you live? <BR/><BR/>Oh - at the risk of sounding smug, I must say that Dad JUST tore out our tomato plants this week. We have the last few tomatoes of the year ripening in our kitchen. Yum!<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad we did a fall garden this year (it's our first time to try it). The young bright green plants make me think it's spring...and yet the clear blue skies and colorful leaves outside the garden tell me it's not. It's a wonderful time of year. <BR/><BR/>...But I still look forward to the real spring. :)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395711824025103530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729287136187801250.post-12619040176138426592008-10-23T16:54:00.000-04:002008-10-23T16:54:00.000-04:00Hey Amber!I haven't been by here in a looong time....Hey Amber!<BR/>I haven't been by here in a looong time...I was just stopping by to say "Hi"! :) That's quite creative, your little watch-on-apron trick. :)<BR/>I read a few older posts...and something about picking lettuce, I know you can plant fall gardens, we did, but your lettuce is still going...in October? Maybe I'm just not remembering right. :) Or maybe it's just colder where we live that I can't imagine picking lettuce right now! Dad tried spinach this fall, but to no avail this time. :) We DID get some radishes, though! <BR/><BR/>Oh, cheery colors on your blog, too! :) Reminds me of spring...how I'm looking forward to it! Yes, already!<BR/>Blessings!<BR/>AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729287136187801250.post-29067076584978204722008-10-22T13:44:00.000-04:002008-10-22T13:44:00.000-04:00That's a very good point, Alethea Jordan.

It's wonderful to be busy. And Many people who are wish the had time to stop and sit down a while. Oh!
