The Grasshopper and the Ants

We really blew it.

We should have been spending this whole past summer buying (or even growing) fresh produce and freezing it. Now there will be no frozen berries to enliven our winter days, no frozen peas to bejewel our casseroles, no lima beans to keep our roast chickens company.We won't get rickets: in this climate, there is plenty of fresh, local produce year-round. Brussels sprouts are a pretty good consolation prize for the advent of dark days and icky weather. Still, twelve months is a long time to go without raspberries. We fiddled our whole summer away and put up nothing. What on earth were we thinking?
