the colors that are fall are waning, as winter meanders toward us. Frosty mornings and shivery nights, just perfect for nestling close together. The fall harvests are bountiful with lots of really good local stuff still available. Lots of local fall events are happening in response to the onset of the season...barn dances, hay rides, apple picking (nearing the end), harvest dinners a the local churches.
We carved the pumpkins for Halloween into scary little jack-o-lanterns and then we prepared and blanched them the following day for Thanksgiving pies. Roasted the seeds, which were yummy as always.
Bear spirit approaches me...as the month moves forward I feel that instinct to pull it all close and begin the nesting for the winter. Beautiful time of year here.
