Autumnal Colors

Autumn comes to the backyard maple.

The final garden protecting marigolds standing guard over the last of the cherry tomatoes. The garden is looking just plain sad now that almost everything has been fall harvested. The lettuce bowl still looks bright and healthy.

Ari, Alex, and Anni all had their flu shots today (they were thrilled!) Then Anni had a blood draw (definitely not thrilled at all!!!), and Ari had one additional vaccination. Now, hopefully the flu will give our family a pass this year.

Anni had her cooking group with her friend today. They made monster mouths out of apple slices and peanut butter with candy corn teeth. It was very silly and quite tasty!

For dinner, we stuffed a couple of delicata squash (farmer's market) with wild rice, sage (CSA), onion (CSA), garlic (farmer's market), and almonds (PCC) and baked them to perfection. We served them up with a wild greens (CSA) and pomegranate (CSA) salad, and fresh pears (CSA) for dessert. Delicious!
