Little things



So the roll of film I had been waiting on turned out to be full of disappointments but thankfully some of the important ones are good. The day I took the top shot in early October I was walking back from the farmer's market on a Saturday morning and the red leaves hugging the tree caught my eye. Within a week they were gone. The lower one I took the day Granddaddy passed, and found myself walking about town in a strange mix of bewilderment and awareness.

M. made dinner again last night. Since I don't know how to grill (something that is working in my favor right now) and we're currently without a stove/oven (we had the gas line moved) he's been taking charge. He grilled some of our green peppers and stuffed them inside a grilled delicata squash with chick peas, homemade salsa and vermont cheddar. (Delicata squash may be my new fave.) And I'm happy to have a bit left over for my lunch.
