The first and last of, and almost missed it seasonal fall cabbage capture.
Every year brings its own gaiety and carefree moments, as well as the serious, matter-of-fact realities, and we never truly know in what format until the unfolding reveals itself. Varietal projects continue to be an enjoyable high and blessing with family, friends, good food, music and wild conversation. And the saying, "Nothing good happens after midnight," also resonated this year with all sorts of late night shenanigans. It's been a full year!
