Final Harvest

This is it.  I harvested the last few vegetables still out in my garden.

Evenings are getting quite chilly, so unfortunately it was time.

This time of the year is always hard for me, especially now that the harvest is complete and my garden is empty, desolate again.  Six months of emptiness...

I left St. Francis out there though, to protect the garden.

I also began composting earlier this summer, so hopefully this means that come springtime, there'll be some nutrients that I can put back into the soil that has been so fruitful for me.

Thank you Lord for making things grow.  Thank you for the harvest.  Amen.
