Going Out of Season

We've tried to eat fresh, local, in-season vegetables as much as possible. It's really been wonderful enjoying the bounty of summer. And while the end of summer is always tinged with sadness this year I'm almost ready to see it go because I'm ready for some new vegetables. When I say summer's bounty I'm not even kidding. We've had boatloads of yellow squash, zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, and bibb lettuce come our way. Boatloads people, boatloads. I'm terribly ready for butternut squash but yellow squash and I need to take a break. We both need our space so we can come back to the relationship stronger and healthier next year.
