ultimo giorno dell'estate / last day of summer

Hubbard squash and cabbage in the garden of LongHouse

Before we know it, it is the last day of summer. Fortunately, summer produce is still plentiful, so I can be in denial for a while longer.

At the same time, winter squashes have made their appearance: hoarding season will start soon. I already have a couple of recipe ideas that I am eager to test.

I took the photo last weekend at the LongHouse Food Revival 2014 in Rensselaerville (NY). I will talk more about this special event in an upcoming post.

This is my contribution to edition #144 of Black and White Wednesday - A Culinary Photography Event created by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook, now organized by Cinzia of Cindystar, and hosted this week by me, Simona of briciole.

Lovely photo in black and white. Today is the last day of summer. Yay! I look forward to autumn. ;-)

Thank you, Paz. I like a lot of things about fall (the colors, the light, the produce), but not the fact that days get short and that it gets colder and wet. I should migrate to the other hemisphere every year, I guess.
