Endless Summer, Precious Harvest

 
Autumn harvests somehow seem the most precious, unlikely color in the fading fall light. On this full-moon Tuesday in Chicago it feels like endless summer in October.

Tom Skilling says our current warm spell will produce the longest stretch of late-season 70+ degree temps in 40 years...
Our extraordinary rain-free, late-season warm spell, which has dominated the past week, isn't over yet---but its days are definitely numbered! Highs in the 70s Tuesday and Wednesday will extend to ten the consecutive number of days which have reached or exceeded 70-degrees. That's the most to occur in October in nearly four decades. But sustaining that level of warmth at this time of year is difficult and signs of a significant pattern readjustment are coming into focus.

The beans look lovely. We're also savoring the last few tomatoes picked from the vine.

How did your tomats do this year, Debbie?
