Just one of the many things I love about living on the East Coast…the beauty of the light in between thunderstorms.
The legend goes that fairy doors are gateways to the world of fairies. They’re magical portals that can appear and disappear at random. Only those who believe will be able to find them.
It’s Jam Making Time Again!
Even though it is now officially autumn I’m planting flowers. It makes my heart happy to see the leaves turning colors and the beautiful flowers that I’ve put into various pots. As much as I’m sorry to see summer leave, I welcome the cooler weather. Autumn has always been my favorite season as it’s the time of year when everything bursts with the last of its beauty. To me, it seems as if nature has been saving up all year for her grand finale. Winter will be certainly be here soon enough, which brings its own beauty.

One of the things I love about New England is the stone walls, which remind me of the Yorkshire dales and moors. Every October I place pumpkins on the stone wall in front of my house in Connecticut. As much as I am sad to see summer disappear, it makes me feel in rhythm with life when I mindfully mark the beginning and end of each season.

I love growing my own vegetables, but I just don’t have the time and energy to grow everything. For me, Sunday is the perfect farm stand day. I love looking over and choosing from what has been grown locally. Besides supporting local farmers the fruit and vegetables always taste so much better than mass produced store bought produce. My advice is to savor the end of the summer season and go out to your local farm stand before it’s too late.
I had a bowlful of organic peaches ripening fast and a lime rolling around in the refrigerator and wondered how this combination would taste together. This morning was the first time that I tried it on toast and I am surprised at how delicious it is. I think that I’ll try making more over the weekend.
