Early Fall Color (Sweaters!)

[mishalak]

Autumn arrived in Denver last night in the form of a steady soaking rain. We get days like this when the summer monsoon moisture lingers on and we start to get northern cold fronts like in winter. It makes for a brisk day when I would like to be making a good vegetable soup with the bounty of the season or else enjoying a big cup of tea on the back porch watching the weather. I'm rather glad these days are here, I can get out my collection of sweaters. Fall is the best season in Colorado, there is a huge variety of weather so I never get bored wearing on type of clothing day after day. There are wonderful fruits and vegetables to be enjoyed and the gold of the aspens make the mountains a beautiful joy to visit. Definitely my favorite season.

For lunch today I enjoyed a tomato I picked from my parents' garden yesterday on some sandwiches. For dinner I'm going to dine on peaches, tomatoes, and maybe some fish cakes. I have tinned fish so I don't have to buy anything else, very important after a convention. The whole "I already spent my food budget on books" thing.
