AUTUMN

Not quite official, but it is in the air. (September 22nd is official day). The cooler nights, the crisper air, the vivid sky, the wind, the harvest and a couple of leaves changing color are the signs. My favorite season, as it is the most pleasant to be outdoors, oven is turned back on, and the beginning of making foods, arts, and crafts for the numerous holidays coming up, along with the world series and beginnings of national football and basketball season. All good times for sure.

"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking successive autumns."--George Eliot

Hope you enjoy the photos, recipes and crafts to come this season. I also hope to inspire you to enjoy this wonderful season as thoroughly as I do, by making some stuff , going for a walk or reading some poetry. Happy Fall and Merry Autumn to you!!!!

 *****Look for Sunday soups throughout the fall season. They will begin soon.
