Fall Colors

In Germany we’ve gone overnight from gorgeous summer weather to wet cold autumn. It’s a sudden switch of the seasons….

I already miss my sandals.

The consolation is the great autumn harvests and the fall colors if you’re lucky enough to live somewhere that gets them. It’s so chilly and dark here this week that I found myself digging around old photos, looking for some of those fall colors and produce bounty.

Here’s what I found.

Old Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts
Chicago buskers
spousal unit at seasonal fountain
pumpkins galore

Time to buy some pumpkins and make some squash soup. Or a pumpkin souffle. Or pumpkin bread. Or gnocchi with browned sage butter. Or pumpkin chili. Or a curry.

You get the idea. Happy Autumn, Everyone.

  1. Great fall photos! Two weeks ago we left lovely fall colors in Alaska, then again in the mountains of Colorado (visiting our daughter) and now we’re in Oaxaca for the next 8 months…there are no fall colors but there are friendly people, wonderful food, and all the plants are green and healthy from a good rainy season!!! I hope you can take a trip to a warm place this winter and escape the dingy cold!

      1. That would be great! Send me an e-mail when you are here and we’ll make a plan to meet.
