Warm up...

I have.
Slowly begun to warm up to Minnesota, as the leaves here seem to herald autumn.

Life here in an empty home seems to be taking on a routine. 
Slow. Routine.
That is the word that I seem to be gravitating towards and hence towards blogging which seems to offer  an easy pace to put my thoughts down as words and images.

Have always been a locavore, picking up vegetables sourced from local vendors, eating seasonal. 
I enjoyed checking out Whole Foods and it's delightful merchandising, I quickly also googled for local farmer's market and found one close by!

Yesterday we spent sometime there buying some regular as well as some very interesting local produce.


M seemed to have colour coordinated her flip-flops with the peppers here;-)
Squashes in pretty shapes, sizes and colours. Pattypan squash, bottleneck squash and zucchini.

I have been cooking with some lovely local vegetables as well...
Beetroot tainted Acorn squash:-)
Butternut Squash...
...eating some juicy cherries.
I bought my first succulents at the farmer's market yesterday.

As long as there is Mr. Sun shining outside my window, it feels like home.
