Not with a Bang

With tables of fruit in the background, a sign says "Last Day"
"Last day of market" in Davis Square, Somerville, today.

The American Thanksgiving is tomorrow, which means that the urban markets here ended today.

A had-letered sign that reads "Kimball Fruit Farm, Last Day of Market! Thank you for Another Great Season! Today's Deal: Apple Cider

Things were a bit picked over this afternoon, and there were fewer than a dozen apple varieties on offer.

I got a bag of Blushing Goldens to eat next month.

This year was the poorest for local (eastern Massachusetts) apples that I can remember, a combination I think of heat and drought and adverse conditions during pollination.

It is problematic to draw direct inferences, but we are connected to the earth and the earth is unsettled.

  1. The heat and drought in your area was historic- definitely not a 'judgement' year.
