We’ve been having great fall weather around here! The leaves are changing, the nights are cool and the days are still in the 60s & 70s. I love this time of year! We haven’t had any frost yet, so the garden is still eking out a few peppers and we’ll be doing another Swiss chard harvest. I’ll be putting the garlic in the garden in the next few weeks.
This is also great grilling weather. It is getting dark pretty early, so it’s a rush to get dinner going on the grill during the week with Eric’s long hours of work, but there’s always the weekends & they have been gorgeous. We’re getting out on the bike trails & admiring the beautiful fall colors along the path. We stop at the fish store on the way home and pick up some fresh fish brought in from Boston that very morning. Then it is off for home and relaxing on the deck before grill time. Tuna steaks are a frequent choice for the grill.
