Picked my pawpaws this morning. Nights are getting colder and the leaves are almost all yellow now. they are good sized, 2 are just starting to soften so have them in a brown bag with a few apples. Also picked out the rest of my peppers - about 40 altogether.

Pawpaws. Weren’t you on the Ten Year Plan for them? Finally! :)
Everything I have left in the garden is freeze-friendly; Kale, Brussels Sprouts, and red Cabbage.
We haven’t even started digging potatoes yet; Beau planted 30# down in the lower garden and neither he nor I have looked at it since July. ;)

My Weatherman, Gary: "It will be mostly clear and colder tonight, with widespread frost likely and a hard freeze possible. Temperatures will fall to the upper 30s by late evening; overnight low temperatures will fall to the lower 30s."
I've got the greenhouse buttoned up and a sheet over the cherry tomatoes, inside. I put the 'covers' on my salad greens 'grow boxes' but I've moved a few things inside; Geraniums, Rosemary and my Pineapple Sage that is just starting to bloom!

These beverages are nice for the holidays......b/c you can sip, sip, sip and won't add calories.
SKINNY HOT BUTTERED RUM
Popular Christmas libation sans calories. Use rum extract. 100 proof alcoholic rum is about 100 cals.
METHOD Mix rum extract droplets (or tb rum), tea butter buds (found in spice section), bit sweetener.
Add mixture to cup of boiling water in pretty mug. SERVE w/ 3-4 whole allspice....or add a cinnamon stick.
Sipping the bubbly sans calories. When ordered in a restaurant as an elegant aperitif,
bartender places sugar cube in champagne glass, wets sugar cube w/ droplets
of brandy. Then fills glass w/ champagne.
CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL
Fill champagne flute w/ club soda, add bit sweetener, 1-2 drops good brandy.
Serve w/ fresh strawberry perched on rim. NOTE Add droplet of red food coloring to make "pink champagne."
