So, I was going to post some comparison pictures with yesterday's entry and something is screwy with the blog so I'll start a new post.
I haven't posted a food picture in awhile so when the onion tart came out of the oven last night I thought it might be fun to put a picture of it in the blog. Onion tart you say? pastry dough, creme fraiche (sour cream), onions and some chicken sausage. really good. So good and easy that I think we'll do it again sometime. Tonight is Eastern chicken from the crock pot and I doubt that there will be any pictures. Tomorrow we're thinking of making some preserved lemons, but only if there's nothing else to do and we have no power. Will take pictures of the lemons if we do it.
A totally unposed picture of the sheep, but kind of cute so I put it in. They are all tucked in and ready for the storm.
The house is all put away and looks rather empty and alone. I raked leaves out of the garden yesterday but so many oak leaves dropped last night and today that you can't tell I did a thing. We left the bench up because neither one of us wanted to carry it and if it gets blown over by Sandy it will be really something.
It's not a pumpkin on the front porch, it's a generator. At least it adds color...
Getting it all hooked up and ready to go if we need it. The pellet stove needs electricity to run so if we do lose power we will have heat and some lights.
A completely different look from summer. Really isn't enticing at all. However, if you look closely you can see that we have carrots, beets and some greens growing. We were going to put some garlic in to winter over, but we haven't gotten around to it yet.
Just some water on a dead leaf and some seed pods. I thought it looked rather artistic so I took a shot.
Here's another angle.
And this is the same plant that is in the picture from yesterday with the comment about it looking like it was out of focus and rather yellow? This is what one day can do to a plant. Interesting.
Right now I'm reading Mrs Woolf and the Servants. An interesting look at life in well to do homes in England at the turn of the century and the relationship of the help with the families. Also trying to keep up with the New Yorker and The New York Review of Books. I don't remember the New Yorker endorsing a candidate and being so political before. I guess times have changed, but that magazine always seemed to stay out of the fray.
