Days Like Today

I assume there will be more days like today in my future - which is why I'm preparing myself for them with COLOR. Today is dark, grey and rainy outside. A tribute to Fall. But inside we are searching out the color to create our own cheerful tribute to Fall, starting with a yellow themed dinner (just following my mother's example!): macaroni and cheese with carrots mixed in, and a side of buttercup squash. I harvested my first buttercup squash today. I didn't know when to harvest so I waited and waited, and turns out I could have harvested a while ago. But it was nice to have something to pick in my garden on such a dreary day. Later in the evening I plan on making pumpkin scones (from my own pumpkins!) and potato salad for a BBQ tomorrow evening. I think I am coming to terms with the idea of Fall. My pumpkins and squash are sure helping. What a beautiful harvest!

Thanks to Katie for adding all those yellow tomatoes to my counter. They are sure brightening my day! That round green squash next to the zucchini is apparently filled with bright yellow/orange meat. I'm excited to cut into it.
