NEW ROOMMATES.

With cold temperatures in the forecast (25 degrees to be exact), we had to spend this past Thursday doing a very extensive relocation project. Remember all those butternut squash we stored in the loft of the barn? Well, those guys don't do so well in during freezing temps...so we had to move them. Indoors.Nearly 300 of them went into the Smith's cabin, under the beds of their children. And the rest (along with an abundance of acorn squash and pumpkins and ginger and sweet potatoes) came into our house.It is kind of lovely to live among your food. To be surrounded by bookshelves and windowsills nearly overflowing with food. This is literally what we will eat this winter - there won't be much else growing once January sets in. I feel comforted by the sight of this produce, crowding our tiny cabin, a visual reminder of food security and the rewards of a bountiful season.- Hannah.
