Last harvest of 2011

This is the last weekly vegetable pickup from Rosie Creek Farm for the season.  It is a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm only a mile away.  Each week throughout the summer we enjoyed eating veggies from the farm.  In this picture: kale, spagetti squash, pumpkin, storage cabbage, celeriac, leeks, carrots, French breakfast radishes, brussel sprouts, potatoes, tomatoes, and garlic.  Past weeks have included a cornucopia of other fresh vegetables.  Biologist Tom Paragi has extended the eating local ethic even further. 
Waning Harvest Moon.  No matter where we are, we all share the same sun, the same moon, and to a large extent, the same atmosphere that washes the face of the Earth. 
The crown of leaves on poplar trees are set aflame by the dying sun.  On my evening drive home, I saw the birch, their weeping branches were laden with leaves of an intensely bright yellow.  (It reminds me of the Golden Spruce, a tree that grew in British Columbia and carried a mutation that kept it gold year round.)
