I can't believe summer is over. It’s my absolute favorite season and I really had a great time this year. One of the high points was my weekly CSA pickups. The farm will still have food until November, but it is really obvious summer has ended. The tomatoes have dwindled down to a handful, the summer squash was destroyed by beetles and the basil is not bursting back from its most recent trim. I'm almost ready to accept fall — I'm sure the first winter squashes and Macoun apples will help ease the pain.

So, here are my remaining summer farm pics:

One of my all-time favorite parts of going to the farm is cutting flowers for my house.

This is what my car looks like driving home

Here is a photo of some of my loot (but this was taken in August — my September bounty looks much different)

Here is Farmer Ron, who along with his lovely wife Kate, makes this world a better place for us CSA members

By the way, if you're interested in learning more about CSAs while being entertained at the same time, try to catch a showing of The Real Dirt on Farmer John. It might not be in the theaters anymore, but I'm sure it will be out on video relatively soon.
