Like the quotes for autumn. Baked a butternut squash , pealed it and cut it into serving size and froze it. Yum.
Pumpkins are everywhere and yes, including "Trader Joe's".
I'm ready for fall.

On the way home today we saw a maple tree, half green and half starting to go red and the last two nights there was a noticable nip in the air. Getting hot gain tomorrow or, as we say in German "Altweiber Sommer" ( Old women's summer).

Ja, here they call it "Indian Summer' but today I got concerned for the night temps,, "official" and my micro-climate are vastly divergent, so if NOAA says 40-something here, it often means 30-something on my place, so I picked all tomatoes, pink and green, putting them into the pantry to ripen.
