...as surely as the squirrels outside your window are burying acorns,
Southern Girls everywhere in the world get a primal urge to polish the silver... |
 |
| ...the rains begin after 7 months of dry weather to drench the back yard... |
 |
...these things start showing up all over
the sidewalks (magnolia flower seed pods?)... |
 |
| ...my shadow takes on an ominously tall and otherworldly look... |
 |
| ...while the hydrangeas take on that coppery look.. |
 |
| ...and Nicky begins to find skeletons in neighbor's yards... |
 |
| ...oak leaves settle on my lavender picnic table after the first rain... |
 |
| ...and Mia's gorgeous grapes fall in bunches like this little beauty... |
 |
| ...the heirloom tomatoes are ridiculously delicious... |
 |
...Chinese bitter melon and eggplants appear at
the farmers' market... (it really is bitter, I tried them!)... |
 |
| ...the ubiquitous pumpkin kissed by nature's palette shows up everywhere... |
 |
...grapes of all varieties are harvested with
abandon all over the area... |
 |
...while over at the beach, a lone surfer walks out of
the sea as if to say.. "when is summer coming back?"
while Nicky watches intently... |
 |
| ...the beach already looks deserted for the winter... |
 |
| ...except for all the birds! ... |
 |
...you know it's autumn when Nicky burrows under the
down comforter in the daybed and claims it for his own...
|
|
 |
...and finally, you know it's autumn when I make this
incredibly delicious and eeeasy Pear Custard Pie (no dairy!).. circa
1987 from the Gray Whale Resto in Inverness, CA... |
How's it going in your part of the world?
