Good morning!
Today is Friday. Remember those sad, spindly onions I planted back in May? Well, here they are! Behold what three months of water and sunshine can do.
These came out of the ground a few weeks ago and have been patiently curing in the barn. Yesterday I finally sat down with my clippers and gave each onion a haircut before putting it in the basket that will, in a few more weeks, go down into the basement for the winter. We’ve come full circle for another year.

Respiteers, I’ve just shared my favorite fall ritual with you. Shall we gather at 2pm so you can tell me yours? As always, check your inbox right before the hour.
Onwards we go,
Clara
I had no doubt those spindly onions would grow into something plentifully curvy....I'm reminded of that possibility everytime I walk past a full length mirror LOL
Nice harvest-I see French Onion Soup in your fireside dinners.
That is one very splendid-looking onion! In fact it looks as if you have a whole basketful of goodness! What a comforting ritual as well.
