I knew this was coming.
It’s funny how quickly a person can adjust to a new situation. Sometimes it’s hard to remember that the world goes beyond my immediate reality. Somehow through all my stress and the days turning over, it turned into October, my favorite month.
I’m desperate for the fall.
I’m finding that what I miss about home (in addition to the obvious friends and family) is the hominess of it. I want to be harvesting the last little bits out of the garden. I want to be heading to the pumpkin patch. I want a few days of chilly windy weather and weeks and weeks of gold and red leaves.
How are you spending my very favorite days of the year stateside?
xo, jill
i picked 130 pounds of apples and i’ve been making apple everything. pie, sauce, and i think i’m going to do cider today.
there will be so many more falls, though.
Jill! I’m loving the fall. The leaves have begun to change here, I think I’ll go to the park later and take some photos. It’s getting cold again and the air is crisp. We’re going to carve pumpkins next weekend, I might try my hand at some pumpkin goodies.
Just catching up with your posts here. I’ve been without a computer for a week. What an exciting time for you! If you need an “teacher advice” let me know. I did it for 15 years.
So the weather here is getting colder and it’s apples, apples, apples at all the farmer’s markets.
I even saw Christmas decorations on sale at a Pier One! Crazy…
I’m enjoying the bounty of our summer harvest. Spaghetti sauce made from my tomatoes along with the green beans you grew and we froze.
Today was gorgeous – sunny, chilly and breezy. A perfect “Jill” day.
Bellingham is perfect right now. We went on a day hike to the best view spot I’ve been to in Bellingham. It’ off the trail on the way to Fragrance Lake. You’d love it. I’ll try and email you a few photos.
Pumpkin penne pasta with winter squash for dinner tonight.
i’m also catching up on your posts! i’ve been doing some fall bike riding around bellingham and broke out the scarves on the first of the month. this last weekend i went to visit my parents and helped harvest the end of their garden. now i have a dozen ears of corn, a bag of tomatoes and onions, and dozens and dozens of peppers to use up!
