creative juices...

A four day weekend is such a rare fine thing... a break where you are granted enough time to recover from the go-go-go of a mad work week AND do a few brilliant things with a few brilliant people. I think one a month should be mandatory (Anyone want to join my cause?).

Last saturday (thanksgiving weekend)-- after two days of recovery and onto those brilliant things... I found myself the proud and humble owner of a beautiful new guitar (to aid me in my quest for rockstardom). Rita, Juan and I had a lovely afternoon... playing guitar, quilting, cooking, eating, drinking out of freshly handmade vessels... and were joined that evening by Katie, who rocked out on HER guitar...

Ah, the GOOD things in life. Can't wait for Christmas. 

Thank you

Rita and Juan for bringing us all together in your beautiful home for a lovely meal.  

the next little pumpkin...

... made a lovely "pumpkin soup in its own shell," last saturday evening... (go easy on the sage is my only advice should you give this recipe a go... unless you love sage, inwhichcase, knock yourself out...)

It made for a fantastic fall meal, complete with a fresh glass of apple cider from Reid's Orchard, and a slice of struan from Atwaters toasted with yummy cheese... SO GOOD.

Katie!

... is back in the greatest city in America! She came (a couple of weeks ago now) laden with sacks full of root vegetables, some winter brew, and beautiful canned goods from the farm... our provisions for the winter!



So 392 is full up- it is exceedingly good to once again share this space with another lovely, sparkly soul. 

....mmm... pumpkins...

I don't much regret to inform you that one sweet little pumpkin came to a very timely end Sunday afternoon... 

What? That little blob you ask? Oh, why, clearly thats a 'crust leaf,' you know, like martha stewart.

pumpkins pumpkins PUMPKINS!!

... need I say more?
