All those beautiful leaves earn a fiery glow before falling...
Weed leaves hold a bright baby blue hue...
So it's going to be a colourful two months! Woo Hoo! The first day of Fall is...
officially on September 23, 2011.
Fall used to be my least favourite season, but I've since changed my mind. I love walking in the woods on a crisp, autumn day listening to the falling leaves. Nature's peace flows into me...oh, it really feels good!

(Recipes will be posted next Tuesday, if you'd like to see.)
I adore cooking simple foods with a clean combination of flavours. Now that the bounty of summer fruits and vegetables is over, it is a good time to think about recipes which include dried ingredients from the pantry. Figs, tomatoes, apricots, wild mushrooms...these are some of the temptations in the dishes which I'll be cooking this weekend.
Hope you have a wonderful one! xx
no plans for the week end, since we have week end 7 days a week. i love that second photo. i like leaves, love them, but i really love prickly things and sticks and limbs that look or are dead. and my perfect weather that i would order for year round if i could, is wake up at dry 65 degrees with high of 72 to 78 and a breeze to stand the curtains out. i don't like extreme cold or heat.
ReplyDeleteI love fall with it's breezes and bright earthy colors...Bring it on!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what I'll be doing for the weekend yet, but after you posted your plans, I'd like to come there with a spoon. Yes..please share the recipes. :)
Loving the colour of the trees at this time of year. As always this was a beautiful post. Have a great weekend. x
ReplyDeleteLinda tonalidade do outono.Belas fotos!beijos,chica
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures as always my friend! Fall is and always has been my absolute favorite time of year. If I could find somewhere to live where it was fall year around I would move there In a heartbeat! Ha ha.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
Much love and hugs doll! :)
Beautiful. We are looking forward to Fall, too.
ReplyDeleteVery good pictures of early autumn, I love.
ReplyDeleteOh my.. sounds yummy. On the way home from a few fays away. Will catch up very soon. Hugs to you, Betty.
ReplyDeleteThe photos were beautiful - I think you are a little ahead of us for fall.
ReplyDeleteYour menu sounds good.
I don't have anything in particularly planned, but I can tell you it will be busy! lol
That sounds delicious! I would love to see the recipes.
ReplyDeleteThere's a dinner with friends tonight, walking with friends in the early a.m. tomorrow, book club Sunday, lots of little things. Can't wait!
Happy walking in the green.
ReplyDeleteAnd get refresh.
You have a very good eye! Saturday is my sermon writing day. I tell people my days off are Friday and Sunday. I do preach and lead worship on Sunday, but other people play the organ (or guitars) or teach Sunday School on Sunday. Fall is beautiful but kind of sad at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to Fall, too, and while we're still enjoying lovely weather, it is cooler and we're beginning to see some colors! Your apricot mousse sounds delicious!! Have a wonderful weekend, Betty!!
ReplyDeleteSiempre reconfortantes estos matices y detalles.
ReplyDeleteUn post muy bueno
Buen fin de semana
Un cordial saludo
Wonderful autumn photos! I love autumn...my favorite time of the year. A quiet weekend here for me...I hope. Have a great one!
ReplyDeletei love fall, even if it is a bit melancholy, too.
ReplyDeleteLet's have a very nice autumn with all the wonderful colors around us.
ReplyDeleteA feast for a photographer!
Wish you a very good weekend and big appetite for cooking and eating!!
I used to dislike fall too, mostly because it was a sign that winter was coming, and I really hate winter. But I've warmed up to fall - it's great running weather and I enjoy the leaves and foods of fall. Plus, I no longer have a job where I'm forced to drive in the snow, so that really helps too!
ReplyDeleteGreat autumn photographs Betty.
ReplyDeletehave a beautiful weekend yourself.
Costas
Great pics Betty, I specially love the black and white one.
ReplyDeleteI am going for a food workshop tomorrow. Looks like it is going to be a great event.
Autumn is a lovely time, if its nice and cheery. Your photos are superb.
ReplyDeleteNo plans here, hubby is working and it's supposed to be rainy. I'm definitely ready for the cooler weather!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that black and white!
I plan on doing some cooking also this weekend. I have no specific plans so it should be a rather slow paced and peaceful weekend.
ReplyDeleteI going to the Mirror Mirror exhibit reception. This is me first juried show and I'm very excited. Other than that we'll be working on taking moss off the roof before the rainy season.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic weekend Betty!
Autumn is coming.
ReplyDeleteI like eating tasty foods but I don't have time to cook.
Yay to Fall, bye bye humidity. My favorite season for sure, hmmmm, Spring is a close second.
ReplyDeleteApricot mousse sounds delightful! Wish I could be there to help you eat it but I'll be volunteering at a plant sale on Saturday and hopefully out birding on Sunday. (Raptors are flying south.)
ReplyDeleteExcellent fall pics!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.:-)

I need to go search out some fall color, Betty. Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots. Love the autumnal colours.
ReplyDeleteMost important thing is to write letters to get a new job. There is a great chance I will loose my job. But in a country with crisis it's not easy to find another job. I am 54 for and the companies are only looking for people of 16 years old with university and 20 years expercience if you understand what I mean. Never mind there are more terrible things in live. Thanks to god my husband has still his job and the children are old enough that they don't cost an amount of money anymore. The fact is I love to go to work. Being a part of the comunity.
ReplyDeleteI will read your recipy at tuesday.
Have a wonderful weekend my friend.
Hugs from Holland

Those leaves are glorious! We are slowly-but-surely cooling down here in the south. Can't wait to get out with my camera and snap some autumn colors! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and comments Betty. BTW that lovely shot of autumn leaves would be perfect for Mandarin Orange Monday:))

ReplyDeleteVery beautiful pictures dear Betty!!!
ReplyDeleteΠολυ ομορφες φωτογραφιες!!!Ελλαδα!!
ReplyDeleteBetty - I hope that you are well and that your arm is fixed again! Your photos in this post are just incredible! Autumn was once my least favourite season too but I learned to embrace it last year, to understand the need for the autumn in the earth's life cycle.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos and thank you for your kind comment on my blog!! Autumn has always been my favourite month. I love the colours, the coolness in the air, the end of all the garden and yard work and mosquitoes. I love hearing the sand hill cranes and seeing all the geese flying south - my list could go on and on :)
ReplyDeleteFall is my favorite time of year. I just wished it lasted longer.
ReplyDeleteTerrific shots!
xo Catherine
Oh the food sounds marvelous. I just love figs. These shots a wonderful. I really love the b/w shot of the people walking.
