Welcome Fall

A variety of pumpkin and squash on and around a blue wooden chair



Sunny days, crisp clear nights, a bountiful harvest, a cozy fire, the sound and smell of rain, pumpkin spice everything, pumpkin quilts, Halloween, fresh corn on the cob, learning something new, fall leaves, brilliant colors, hockey season, the sound of geese migrating, sunflowers blooming, time spent with family, teaching new classes…Happy Fall!

We've been blessed with a huge harvest of squash and pumpkins this Fall, with the garden producing everything from blue and orange Cinderella pumpkins to Golden Hubbard Squash, one of my favorites, and even the tiniest, ornamental mini pumpkins.

Believe it or not, we didn't even plant any squash this year. They all just grew naturally as a result of mulching the seed scrapings from pumpkins and squash we've purchased over the last two or three years. The harvest was super fun because we didn't know what types of squash we were growing until they actually matured.

The pumpkin/squash patch was huge and healthy. 
It even went as far as to grow up into the neighbor's tree!

Fall flowers are equally gorgeous. 
There's color inspiration for my next quilt everywhere I look!
