A pair of peppers

I picked these from the vegetable garden this past weekend. I was surprised to find them this late. I knew there were some small peppers left on the plants, but I assumed they had either rotted or been eaten by slugs. But these got large and are in good shape. Now I have to do something with them.

Orange/yellow bell peppers from the garden.

Our temperatures are a little lower than they were over the weekend, but it's still pleasant. I like Indian summer, but I'm hoping that we have a real winter this year. And while I'm not fond of being cold, I know we need some cold weather and a freeze or two. Now, when I say cold, I'm not talking the arctic chill that you North Americans and Scandinavians know. Our climate is far too temperate for that. Thank goodness.
