October 10, 2012



the leaves are changing and many have fallen.
my fridge is stuffed with turnips, kohlrabi, carrots, kale, cauliflower and arugula.
we are eating soup at least two nights a week.
no one has tired of apple desserts yet.
halloween costumes are being planned for (a gypsy and a pumpkin).
bengal spice tea is my new found favorite (with cream).
the first fire has been burned in the fireplace.
i wore tights today.
a pile of wool blankets is at arm’s reach in each room.
the hot water bottle came to bed with us last night.
a bag of candy corn has already been consumed (in one day. by mama.)
our living room has welcomed us back
yes i do believe autumn has arrived.

    ooh, that bengal spice with cream (and a tiny bit of maple syrup). Used to be my all time favorite, drinking many cups a day.
    It’s sure changing here too all the sudden. I am finally really ready, and sinking right into it.

    I adore your kitchen. Can you tell me the name of your calendar?

    Hey, we have that same calendar and not more than 3 minutes ago I took a picture of my Clark’s desert wings with argyles peeking out. Soup and chewy sourdough on the menu for us tonight.

    I live in California, fall is here! I wondered about that calendar too.

    Your fall sounds like it’s rumbling along quite nicely. I would have a fire burning a lot sooner than most folks, but tights are definitely how I gauge when the season has arrived for myself.
