autumn in Vermont

Autumn in Vermont is a time for getting the house ready for winter, finishing off that woodpile, and canning. On Sunday, when I was at the Center, Ellen, John, and Owen came over, and made some apple butter from our own apples. I hear that Owen was a lot of fun, but he didn't help much.
We had frost warnings on Monday night, and for some reason I was compelled to make some pesto out of the basil, and parsley growing in the front garden. I've never done that before. It was easy to make, and tasted pretty good as well.
