I just love fall weather. It is a welcome break from the heat and humidity of summer. Don't get me wrong, I like summer when I'm in it - all the great garden produce that grows because of the weather. However, I'm a fall girl myself. I love to make soups, and fall is when we eat them a lot.
Just tonight, we had an Italian Vegetable soup, using some of the leftovers of summer's bounty, with homemade breadsticks. Tomorrow's lunch is going to be miso soup and sushi salad. Sunday is going to be jambalaya. As you can tell, we like a variety of soups.
It's been rainy and breezy lately, too. It really smells like fall outside, that sweet smell of decomposing leaves. It's very enjoyable when doing the chores. The baby is very cuddly in his winter clothes. I think it affects his attitude, as he will sit and snuggle much longer than in the summer.
I harvested the winter squash yesterday during a break in the rain. I feel some pumpkin muffins coming on soon.
Until next time! |
