The history of shipwrecks in the Great Lakes, especially Lake Michigan, fascinates me! This most recent find is a Civil War era passenger ship.

Winter Wonderland

Snow keeps falling... so quiet and peaceful.

First major snowfall of 25/26 Winter... and it's just getting started.

Last harvest of 2025!

They say to leave parsnips in for awhile after the frosts. We've had a few frosty mornings, so I thought mid-November was a good time to go get them.

A good haul! Much better than I've done in the past. I think my soil-regeneration efforts - cover crops, rotation and compost - are helping!

Now on to blanching and freezing these lovelies.
