I don't know what got into him....but Will spent a good part of Thanksgiving morning out in the carport...arranging all the fall vegetables onto a table. The table sagged with bounty (literally. It was quite beautiful, but I knew that, as cold as it was that day, folks would only see it in passing on their way to the door! No matter. It is indeed a work of art.
And one more Thanksgiving note: We wanted to use as much garden produce as possible for our Thanksgiving dinner. So, after all other menu items had been decided, Will got a wild hair and decided to make 'gumbo z'herbes'. This is a traditional louisiana gumbo made with 7 greens. Actually, his was made with 10 greens (!) A thing of beauty, but I must say, it has been many years since I have washed each and every leaf pulled from an entire BATHTUB of greens!
That is all for now. Will has interesting post-frost garden pics on his camera, but I haven't made it into that store yet....
