We sold our house! We'll be moving to Vancouver mid-December, and we have spent weeks and months going through all the stuff in the house where we have lived for 29 years. So many books have gone to Little Free Libraries; bags and bags of clothing and other fabric have gone to charity; millions of extension cords, kid toys, miscellaneous kitchen stuff has gone to the curb.
Our old Ikea couch and things were not suitable for showing off the house to its best advantage, so we got stagers in who beautified it all to heck. When we were young and foolish we imagined morning coffee on the deck outside the bedroom, but never managed to have one person go down to the kitchen, make the coffee, carry it up to the third floor... but you can see the stager had the same idea. The plant on the deck was at its red-leafy best for the week the house was on the market. The sign is from the nude beach in San Diego where we last visited in... 1992?
The leaves have been lovely this fall. It has been warm, with the odd cool night, not too much rain. We have filled bags and bags with leaves, but they've been dry and golden instead of brown mush, as sometimes happens.
I bought this pepper plant and it did not do very much earlier in the season, but now there are several of these bright yellow-green peppers. I have no idea how to determine when they are ripe. But they are very pretty, with their still-green leaves.
I hope to continue with pictures of leaves for this month, and I'll get back on track with the cookbook series next year, or whenever I am settled enough to have a cookbook shelf again.
I am also knitting. Perhaps I'll save that for another day, since I have quite a bit to show you.
