Well, still no baby, but we've been having some true fall weather this week, so I thought I'd celebrate by sharing a few photos. The dahlias are still going strong and I think some are getting more beautiful as the season wears on (I swear that the dark pink and yellow shown below have gotten deeper and more vibrant since they first started blooming). The wind is taking its toll on the plants, so I'm not sure how much longer they'll last, but it's been a wonderfully long and abundant season.
The cool, wet weather has also inspired me to do some baking. Yesterday, I pureed another pumpkin and made pumpkin muffins with cream cheese frosting and mulled some apple cider. With the cool rain coming down and a warm drink, it almost felt like I was living on the west side (that's how we eastern folk refer to the greener sides of Oregon and Washington, which are west of the Cascade mountain range) again - it was a nice, nostalgic home-y feeling.
Now, if only that baby would come. . .
