Of Cabbages and...Cabagges, Missoula, Montana

Driving to work over the past month, I've been watching the cabbages at Benson's Farm get progressively larger. If your family's culinary heritage does not include tasty, comforting fall cabbage dishes, as mine does, more's the pity! But all is not lost - the Internet can save you and broaden your cabbage view beyond coleslaw!
Ukrainian comfort food includes holubtsi (cabbage rolls), and if you are blessed with meticulous aunties, your family visits will include delicate versions smaller than your thumb.

Pumpkin Dreaming, Missoula, Montana

Driving the surface streets to work each morning takes me past Benson's Farm, where the pumpkins are focused on getting ready for the October harvest.  On taking a closer look, I was surprised to see the stages of bloom & ripening fruit present at the same time (which my sister told me occurs in cocoa plants). Makes for a touching multi-generational photo.
