   and rains the past few days.

     :)  we used to have tables in the garage of green   
   tomatoes getting ripe through the fall, but as the   
   weather gets colder there's no way to keep the garage   
   from freezing that makes sense so anything that went   
   too long either got eaten as green tomatoes or was   
   discarded and turned into worm food.   
      
     but i suppose diced green tomatoes and red peppers   
   or something similar might be suitably festive and   
   seasonally appropriate.  :)
