Woke up to peruse the garden and orchard, catching the luminescence of the morning light with the sparkle of the morning dew still on leaves and petals.

Bruschetta To Bees

The
Bruschetta is beautiful.

  • fermented,
    • zingy
      • garlicky goodness
        • chock-full o'pro-biotics
          • spicy

            and going fast!


Meanwhile, the notion has struck me that the cold night is bringing about changes outside.  The bruschetta should help keep us warm and take off any chills, but can't help but stop and pay attention to the obvious. 
We are at the tail end of summer.  The days of late have seemed busier than usual, and therefore,  I have been missing out on enjoying more of what is going on in the orchard. 
So, with that in mind, late yesterday afternoon I hastened out to the orchard to capture the changes and see what was new.

I thought I would add in the photos from the big harvest day, as well as some of the process to the curing stage.  little A has been harvesting garlic since she was 2, and the size of the tools have grown with her.  This year she had a regular-sized pitch fork and wielded it like a pro!

Hmmmm... not bad!
Takes this garlic inspection seriously

Sizing it up.... fierce competition!

    I am T-  the other half -of the dream-wrangler team, in the Orchard adventure.  
    Mother to 3 amazing adult sons, and grandmother to the biggest rays of sunshine in our lives. Our oldest grand-daughter, we used to call "Little A", but now she is medium to tall-sized.  She is "Miss A" now. The last couple of  years she has greeted a brother, "Little R" , and this past fall, "Little Miss I" and another mister, who will be known as "Little K", arriving any day now!

    Then there's H.- I'll let him elaborate at some point,  but in my opinion, he's the best seaweed wrangler west of the Atlantic. He remains our artist. in residence, and contines to astound T with his penchant for unusual garden-type installations.  He lives to dance a jig with his grand kids, and teach them all about gardens, growing and such.
