A Halloween October Garden Recap

The month of October got away from me. I've composed a month's worth of posts in my head, but never got around to recording them in my online journal. This is a recap of what went on this month:

• October ended with snow. SNOW!  We woke up on Saturday to heavy rain, which then turned into icy rain, and then turned into snow by late afternoon. The snow didn't stick, but it was still bizarre to have such freezing temperatures this early in the year. Apparently this has been record-breaking all along the east coast. 
• There haven't been many fall colors in the neighborhood this year. This is the only tree in the neighborhood that has changed leaves.

• We've been harvesting handfuls of tomatoes throughout the month--nothing like an August harvest, but I've enjoyed these late blooming tomatoes.

• The peppers get gold stars this year. They all have continued to crank out fruit, as I mentioned in my post at the beginning of the month. 

• Even Pickles' cat grass has continued to grow well.

But here's the REAL reason I haven't been able to post much this month:

Another batch of foster kittens! We've had them for about 4 weeks, and even though there are only three of them, they've been sick and not eating well so I've been spending a lot of time with them--more than with the five foster kittens I had earlier this year. This little trio is much healthier now and gaining weight nicely. I think in two weeks they'll be ready to go up for adoption--just in time for Thanksgiving!
{Update: picture removed because the little girl kitten didn't make it. Too sad for me to have it here.}

And it hasn't escaped my attention that today is Halloween--one of the funnest days of the year because you're never too old to dress up and ask strangers for candy. Happy Halloween!!
