There was a tease in the air

Temp-wise we were in the 90's today. Last week was such a tease - sleeping with windows open, sun warming us during the day,and smelling fall. There was no question. It was the real deal. Until a couple days ago.

I look out my kitchen window and, with all the stuff that has accumulated, this is the best sign of fall, from inside looking out.

• heirloom tomatoes from the garden changing colors
• a gift pumpkin from friends
• mini gourds resting from the vine
• thyme drying
• corn we grew and can't wait to pop for a movie night in our future
•  a homemade pinwheel - a reminder of summer.

I know it is right around the corner.
