I love this time of year. I always feel most inspired in the fall. I haven’t been on my computer as often as I usually am, but I have been enjoying a much needed creative break. I started a new knitting project, I’m attempting to learn some basic embroidery, I’ve been cooking, and I’m venturing back into the world of doll making. (More on this if the second attempt proves more successful.)
At the moment I have a very fragrant spice cake in the oven. Perfectly fall-ish! I bought a copy of the October Martha Stewart Living last week and decided to attempt the roasted pumpkin soup. It was so very good! And almost easy! My only complaint is that the recipe claimed prep time would be five minutes. Really Martha? I defy you to cube a pumpkin in that short amount of time even given a chainsaw. Come on now!
I left the magazine at work so I will post the recipe later. I highly recommend it! The spice cake recipe came from here. It’s not my favorite, so if you have a better one let me know. Actually, if you have any favorite fall recipes I would love to hear about them. Until then, here are some lovely pictures to get you in the autumn spirit…
oh my your photos are stunningly full of colors beauty. All the things you are up to sound fantastic. spice cake, yum.
Thank you dear. It snowed here yesterday and people went skiing in Park City. Unacceptable. I needed that smidgen of fall.
love! those near brought a tear to my eye with there beauty…that last pic reminds me of fall strolls in manchester state park in good ol’ P.O.
Martha Stewart is my guilty pleasure. She’s just so ON. And go you with your creative energy! Send some this-a-way. Did you take those pictures!?
I wish Kiera! No I actually collected these from a few different places. Unfortunately like a bad blogger I don’t have the credits because I saved them to my computer a while ago… And yes, Martha and I have such an ardent love-hate relationship…
Snow!?! Wow. Pretty crazy. Is Park City outside of Salt Lake City? I think I have been there and there was a lot of snow. Very beautiful!
This wonderful post sure put me in the spirit! I love your writing style. I think I might attempt baking or making something autumnal myself today. Happy Autumn! xoxo
Doll making?
photos of leaves turning, one of my favs.
You are a bad blogger, cite your photos! Aaron, Laura needs a time out.
Beautiful photos! yay for fall and colored leaves! the knitting and doll making sounds likes so much fun! The pumpkin soup sounds delicious! :)
I know you are right Ted! That’s it, I’m getting a tumbler account so I can keep track!

Every fall we go to a nearby town where the home of the guy that started Arbor is at. They have all kinds of trees on the grounds and it looks a lot like these pics!
