It's Coming!

I just came across this great recipe for fudge bars, thanks to GroceryCartChallenge...but my motivation for making freezer treats is rapidly waning.

Fall is definitely starting to move in here. The trees are already showing patches of yellow and gold. (Our dominant fall color -- orange and red are at a premium.) A cold breeze wanders through in the afternoon, and we've had two days of rather nasty thunderstorms and wind.

I'm not sad. It's no fun to lie in bed, wishing you could breathe, or putting off supper to keep the house cooler. I love fall -- the visual grandeur, cooler weather, the sense of excitement (after all, the holidays aren't far behind). And even the tiny bit of sadness as the garden ends, and stews and soups begin.

I just hope we don't get a killing frost for a week or two, so the tomatoes and zukes have a chance to bear more.
