It is supposed to freeze pretty hard this weekend, so earlier this week we went and stripped the garden. Pretty much the only thing left in their worth salvaging was pumpkin and squash. But we got a good amount of that.
Dozens of pumpkins, about a dozen butternut squash, eight or 10 of the giant Hubbard candy roasters, and some miscellaneous late zucchini.
"I only remember the very first part of the book where he described the man of steel and velvet and I remember the deep chord that phrase struck. I remember the image I had of a hand of living steel wearing a velvet glove, a hand that could crush or caress, strike a killing blow or wipe away tears, lift mountains or cradle an infant. The rest of the book was an afterthought."
From an essay about Aubrey Andelin's "Man of Steel and Velvet".
