Last week I cleaned up the garden - and just in time! The frost hit really hard the next evening, and everything would have been toast. I brought in seven bell peppers, a bowl of tomatoes (a bag of green ones are still reddening up in the pantry), a crisper full of carrots, a dozen pumpkins, and seven cucumbers. The last harvest. In some ways, it really saddens me to say, "The last harvest", because I will miss watching my garden grow, and I will miss eating fresh garden produce. But alternately I feel a little relieved to have it all cleaned up and gladdened that we got through a successful season, and now get the rest Winter necessitates. Oh how hard work pays off: in fruitful harvests, and glad rest.
