| Pumpkin patch 2011 |

| Harvest colors |
As days get shorter and weather gets colder and more wet, I look forward to the fall season. I love the colors of autumn, the fresh apples and pears and pumpkins. I look forward to comfort food in my kitchen, like warm root vegetable stew, pumpkin pie, or warm apple crumble. Everyone starts walking around with pumpkin-spiced coffees and hot chocolates. I love that the dreary days make my home feel like a little sanctuary, protecting me from cold and rain. I get sentimental with Thanksgiving approaching, and picking best pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. Monkeys get excited over what costumes they will wear for Trick or Treating this year. I get excited about carving the pumpkins and decorating our house. Most of all I look forward to Girly Monkey's birthday and spending time with family.
I can understand why this season is almost never one of the favorites with people, but I get a bit nostalgic about it.
