Autumn

Autumn here in Provo has been unusually kind to us for the past week or so. Tomorrow, a wicked cold front is supposed to sweep through and freeze us all. So, I thought that I'd share a few Autumn-happy-warmths with you:



Beans are beautiful and tasty. I turned these beans into taco soup that was oh-so-filling. I was more than happy to eat the leftovers all the following week. I like Autumn because it means I start cooking soups again.



As soon as I got my car, I headed off to drive the Nebo Loop. Even in the desert, we can get a taste of Fall colors,



and Fall cattle,



and Fall deer,



and Fall views.



Also, this once-a-leaf-pile is now-a-compost-heap that I am very excited about. Bring me your food scraps and I shall return them to the Earth. Autumn helped make this possible, too. ::nod::



I am off and away on my new adventure to appreciate cooler weather. Don't you think?

  1. Very cool, and the beans picture reminded me of one of my favorite paintings in the BYU MOA: http://www.lds.org/images/Magazines/Ensign/Archive/en06aug44b_richmond.jpg (Took me a while to find online--turns out it's called Triplus Number 3, not anything to do with Triptych).

  2. Thanks Austin. I really like that piece, too. Is it in the MOA's permanent collection now? I thought that it was a visiting piece when they hosted the Savior exhibition. Also, I forgot on Tuesday to return your Dialogue. Yet again. Feel free to drop by for dinner tonight (my house) where I'll set the journal as a centerpiece. Then, even if you don't come, it'll be a grand conversation starter. (Once food is served, of course, centerpieces are moved off the table so they aren't dirtied.)
