yellow

Today was a beautiful day, from morning fog to sunshine, and a light haze before sunset. The yellow leaves glowed, and I'm soaking in the color every chance I can. I made multiple trips through the vineyard today- met a friend for a walk, went for a run, and carried my groceries home.    

Lots and lots of birds.

Walking with Jess and her boys. We ate at a picnic table fit for giants and visited the donkeys of Dardagny.

Pinot and I are keeping cozy these past few weeks while Derek is working extra long hours. We've had our share of rainy days, movie nights, and comfort food while looking forward to the weekends. Anything that requires dough or batter- I've made in mass quantities lately: cookies, apple pancakes, chocolate chip pumpkin pancakes, apple cider donuts, big salty pretzels with a cheezy dip, garlic naan (nom!). I've gone through more bags of flour in the past few weeks than I've used the rest of the year. They add some extra heft to my grocery-filled back pack, so I figure it all evens out. Let the fall feeding frenzy continue!
