The onions, red, yellow and white, are in the storage room ready to go on the wooden racks when I have a minute.\u00a0 The honey, too, is on the bottom row of our shelving unit, collected in canning jars and resting in the boxes that held the canning jars in the store.\u00a0 Kate’s just put up 7 packages of frozen kale and swiss chard, for use in the dead of winter when greens from the garden seem very special.\u00a0 She’s also making applesauce from our six apple crop.\u00a0 I picked them a bit too early for eating.\u00a0 Chicken breasts and pie dough have been set out to thaw since I will make chicken and leek pot pie later today.\u00a0 This is a busy time of year, but it is also a fun and satisfying time.<\/p>\n
