Happy Fall!
September 23, 2008 – 6:53 am
Yesterday marked the autumnal equinox – the first day of fall. It’s been noticeably cooler around here in the northwest, and much to my delight (and most everyone else’s annoyance) it rained quite a bit this weekend. I love the rain. I guess I’m in the right place 😉 It was the first time that it rained all month, actually. The summers here are gorgeous, and I’ll miss all of the fresh produce, but I love this time of year. The grocery stores just started stocking the first pumpkins and gourds of the season, and the winter squash bin is now overflowing after months of sparseness. The picture above is of a sweet dumpling squash that I’ll be roasting soon, probably tonight. I’m also looking forward to visiting Foster’s Farm and going through the corn maze before picking out some pumpkins and getting some of their great pumpkin butter. Yum!

yummy! Fall is my favorite season, too! I found this wonderful recipe for a pot-pie cooked inside a baby pumpkin. If I can find any here, I’m going to make it! I just can’t wait!
Send some of that rain over here! It’s dry as Denver these days!
