I just got back from the farm stand. For $10 I brought home a couple of
good sized acorn squash, ditto a couple of butternut squash. I also got
a cabbage, a paper bag full of new potatoes and a couple of good sized
sweet potatoes. Oh, and a bundle of leeks.

While I was selecting an acorn squash a ladybug (ladybird beetle) landed
on my hand. The man exclaimed, "That's good luck!" Yep, it's good
luck to have these farmers selling really good fresh produce nearby.

I'd prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

Yes, new potatoes this time of year. Don't forget I live in the
Southern US. We have a much longer growing season. It was nearly 80°F
yesterday.

My azaleas are blooming again. I still have at least one stubborn
hummingbird still coming to the feeder. And butterflies flitting around.

Love the farmers. It does not get fresher unless you have the plants in
your own back yard. Price is sometime higher than the supermarket, but
well worth it for freshness.

I like the squash roasted. Looks like you will be eating well this week.

I agree, I have a couple close by and am really thankful for them.

I'll be eating well for more than a week. Winter vegetables last a long
time when properly stored.

Yes, I adore roasted acorn squash. Split, seeded and butter, S&P.

Butternut squash... might make soup. I may use the leeks to make soup, too.

I will definitely bake the sweet potatoes. I treat them just like
regular baking (white) potatoes. Skins rubbed with butter then
sprinkled with salt. Baked, about 375F about an hour. Nice crispy skin
outside, tender inside. A little butter, S&P, sour cream if you like.
Delicious!
