Alas and alack, it's over for us too. Picked the last of the cherry
tomatoes and sweet chiles today, along with a couple of eggplant. Looks
like we're expecting a hard freeze in the next couple of days.

Good news is that a friend killed an Axis deer over in Texas the other
day and we're going to turn the little feller into sausage tomorrow or
Thursday. Link sausage, 90% venison, 10% pork, then smoked. Should be good.
