Hard to believe, but I started my fall clean-up in the yard today. We have one tree just outside the back door that always drops its leaves before any of the others, but some years that doesn't start until late September. This year I started sweeping up the orange and red leaves in the middle of August! Is this the sign of an unseasonably cool Autumn?

A Quote From My Latest Recommended Read:

"When my generation of women walked away from the kitchen we were escorted down that path by a profiteering industry that knew a tired, vulnerable marketing target when they saw it. "Hey ladies," it said to us, "go ahead, get liberated.
We'll take care of dinner." They threw open the door and we walked into a nutritional crisis and genuinely toxic food supply......We came a long way, baby, into bad eating habits and collaterally impaired family dynamics. No matter what else we do or believe, food remains at the center of every culture. Ours now runs on empty calories."
