I’ve gone and done it!  A Sukkot mini-garden glow!  Shimmering white and blue lights in the sukkah and gardens.  Sukkot is like a grand finale of the harvest before darkness sets in, so might as well celebrate it with a full fae light show.  Call me eccentric, but I can’t get enough of this stuff.  I think even Avdi was impressed.

Not to be outdone by myself, I set up plant lights and plants on top of shelves in the office and dining room, so there’s some green ambience here and there, lighting up dark corners.  I think A, and even Y, liked the improvement.  Y and I and the rat family were hanging out while A was out at one of E’s drama productions at the HS.  Y was sewing on his new sewing machine in the office, probably creating a renfaire outfit for tomorrow, while the rats had taken over their giant theme park/Y’s room.

Shabbat dinner was very harvesty, with sweet corn and a salad featuring assorted sweet peppers from the garden.  There’s still no lack of flowers putting on their final bursts of color and nectar before dormancy sets in.  I even managed a whole new succession planting of assorted lettuces, greens, and root veggies to carry us through fall.  Not surprisingly, new volunteer tomatoes are coming up everywhere.

Last but not least, Avdi drove me and my tropical plants home to join the others.  It’s now very jungly at my apartment.  I may need a machete soon!  Pics later, when the sun comes up.
