Sunset at Heath

IMG_2785IMG_2788IMG_2783What a way to start the weekend, enjoying the beautiful fall season on the front porch at Heath watching the sunset with family; enjoying a crisp glass of Brut cava and a few slices of Humboldt Fog {goat cheese} before setting off for my evening walk. I am looking forward to the approach of Halloween and cannot wait to see how the neighbors have creatively decorated their homes, while out this evening.

Happy Friday,

IMG_0931Lately, I find myself brewing up pots of soup on these chilly evenings here in the mid-Atlantic and as much as I enjoy the crisp, cold air, the thought of snuggling up indoors is my idea of true comfort. But, when outdoors it is wondrous seeing colorful leaves falling to the ground, markets filled with pumpkins and the occasional sunrise that makes this time of year so spectacular {see last post Sunday Traditions}!

IMG_0735Vegetables from the farmers market and the gardens of Heath are tossed into a pot to make earthy broths for soups or stews to serve during lunch or dinner.

I cannot wait to make my delicious marinara sauce this weekend!!

Harvest stylishly,
