Late Harvest

Oven roasted the large carrots and beets. Ate the small carrots raw. So sweet! The carrot tops look funny because the deer had been grazing recently. They seemed to like the beet leaves, too. I'm still getting tomatoes from the amazing plant I bought from the little freckle faced red haired boy at the Kingston farmers' market. I'm hoping he shows up again next spring.

Watched an eagle try to lift a big bird, maybe a grebe, out of the water this afternoon. It made several passes and grabs but didn't have the strength to make a capture. The poor prey didn't survive. I wonder what shape we'd be in if we had to grab our food while it was still alive. I'd be a vegetarian for sure!
