Ciao Autunno...Hello Fall...

My yearly tradition of baking a Pie on the first day of Autumn continues... Sometimes Apple,  sometimes Pumpkin... This time it's Pumpkin...

Autunno... Autumn...

As Fall rapidly approaches,  I find myself with  thoughts of Autumn favorites coming from my kitchen... and Autumn colors warming our home.  I am easing in  touches of orange and gold to bring in the season and adding pumpkins all around.  If my pumpkin plants let me down ( again) I will just have to buy them...or get them from Paul and Edy's gorgeous garden,  Quail Rock Farms... fine by me...

Quasi Autunno... Almost Autumn...

It's been a hot and humid summer and I am ready for it to be over and enjoy some cooler Fall weather.  The days are getting just a bit shorter and there are very faint signs of Fall in the air.  Looking forward to seasonal cooking and enjoying some Autumn Favorites from the kitchen. In the meantime,  I don't want to rush things but I will begin doing some seasonal decorating and getting ready for a visit from Angelo and Pina.
