A bunch of gourds on a tray assume quasi-religious overtones.

After months of stale air, all you smell are leaves.
You only want to bake things that are dense, nutty and sweet.

You attack a box of yarn with your bare hands.

It's time to get out your special cup.
(For one like mine, Google "Enoch Wood teacup.")
Your life is squash, squash and more roasted squash.
It's the annual school glampout.

.....when my one pot meals are requested, osso bucco, freshly baked breads and candles seem to be lit earlier.

Fall is my favorite season and I always wish it would last longer than it does. These snippets of your autumn are just gorgeous and put me in the best mood on a Monday morning.
"dense, nutty and sweet".
Sounds like me this morning.

PVE:

Ashley:
So happy to hear that!
Bourbon and Pearls:
Do you want me to mail you some? Seriously. They're 69 cents each here.
Pamela Terry and Edward:
You are SOOO funny! xx
oh I love those tweedy Dickensian mornings of fall, with summer fading and Christmas looming! Your blog has always seemed to capture that magic parenthesis...
Fall is all of this plus a soundtrack of Joan Baez. Cozy, cozy, cozy!

Honed but UNPOLISHED (very important!) black granite.
that was hilarious! And wouldn't you just know I was arranging some fall what nots on my table. Gave me some perspective.
Cans and cans of pure pumpkin purée in the pantry!
this is perfect :)
We are spending our first Fall in the US in over 7 years so all of it is good and beautiful and smells nice too :)
Love the photos !
No one has described fall more uniquely. Squash reminds me perfectly of fall. Sunflowers, apple cider and pumpkin spiced drinks. My only dislike is the lack of daylight hours and winter hasn't hit yet. Time to break out those wood scented candles!
Loved the photos! Fall is awesome and your snippets of autumn are simply spectacular. They just reminded me of my holidays and my pleasant stay at Mayur Kolkata.
Thanks for this great post.
wait, i ALWAYS want to bake things that are dense nutty and sweet :)) I live in perpetual autumn.
