Yesterday, was the first full day with a fire in the woodstove, with the floor filled with re-located houseplants and the chairs full of cats, both seeking respite from the chilly wind. The counter was also filled with a premature pepper harvest, since there’s no good way to convince these cold-sensitive plants not to call it quits at the first sign of frost.
My wife had been gradually harvesting the mature ones for weeks, but these would have been left a bit longer had the weather permitted. Regardless, we were happy that October brought us only a light frost since the brave hearts of the Occupy movement are now having to cope with the onset of winter, as this Occupy Denver photo shows.

Oh my. That’s dedication.
And I was so worried that winter would hit them hard in a few weeks. In NYC, this weather following on the heels of Bloomberg’s outlawing generators…? Cruel and unusual.
What will you do with all those peppers?!
