A Walk on a Foggy Morning

The fog enshrouded my morning walk. It's a beautiful time of year. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.  Above is a the road that leads to my house. Below are oak leaves.

Above is a maple leaf. Below are the zinnias that survived the frost with a little alyssum (left)  and raspberry leaves (right). 

And below is a glimpse at my lettuce before the bitter cold arrives.

Salad in the Autumn

We've been lucky weather-wise, so I can still get some good veggies from the garden. This is my taco salad before I added ground turkey cooked with fresh garlic. I know I'm not the only one who does this, but I find myself harvesting, cleaning, chopping, and storing the different veggies so they're ready when I need them. I also made a pasta salad with the last of the green beans along with pesto chicken. And I forgot to take a photo. The photo below shows two gifts--the cucumber from a friend and the salsa from a neighbor. I'll miss my garden as we head into cooler temperatures, though I'll do my best to keep the lettuce growing as long as possible!
