Fall on the farm

[zebulen]

The agrarian landscape has sunk into my genes.  I often take it for granted that other people see what I see, that my home is their home.  But that is not true.  This is a special time of year to be at home.  I may not have the mountains or the oceans, the hills or the hollers.  But I am able to take in the golden wheat, the burnt umber bean fields

So beautiful! I am jealous of your true fall. It was crisp here today but no golden wheat to speak of :)

I'm sure your home has its peaches and pecans and such. :)

That is true. And apples! So many delicious things. I've been adding toasted pecans to everything I can get my hands on lately! Baked apples with toasted pecans, pumpkin bread with toasted pecans, toasted pecans with toasted pecans.

What yummy fall things are y'all eating up thar?

Apples! We have visited two separate orchards in the past two weeks. I wonder if apple growers ever get tired of their own products? It hardly seems possible.

And I will take pumpkin in just about anything. My affection for pumpkin borders on worship. I tell you, that Linus was onto something.

I have already begun stockpiling pumpkin as the grocery stores down here do not stock canned plain pumpkin year round! So nowadays one of my big hobbies is stopping by the grocery store twice a week to pick up five huge cans of pumpkin :P

Pumpkin french toast was on the menu this morning (ok fine it was nearly lunchtime) and I even threw some in my coffee in an attempt to mimic Starbucks' pumpkin spice latte. It was not the same but still delicious!

The pictures that have been posted from your apple trips so far are just wonderful!
