i'm so glad i live in a world where there are octobers

our inaugural pumpkin dish.  with plenty of sage for good measure.

are you as giddy about fall as we are?  we love this season.  even if we aren't surrounded by falling leaves of ochre.  we do have the falling temperatures and the vibrant autumnal sunsets...just a bit earlier in the evening.  i love the shift in light.  it makes all the difference.

and this time last year, i was feeling the exact same way.  isn't there something magical and transformative about this time of year?  gosh, i love it.

...

and yet again, i pose the question: what are your fall favorites?  recipes.  traditions.  sights.  smells.

and my gratitude to lucy maud montgomery for the blog post title.  perfectly put, as per usual.
