Even those who […]

Photo By: S. Duquet It was bittersweet when I spied the first Delicata Squash at our farmers market. I thought,”I really love those, why did they have to come so soon?” The debut of locally grown winter squash is a pretty good indicator that my beloved Summer has come and gone. It was such a […]
