Musings

As we near the end of August you can almost feel autumn's arrival. A warm summer wind is blowing while leaves are letting go of their branches, sprialing downward to the earth below. The leaves that have landed on the patio terrace scuttle past view quickly. Acorns dropping onto the patio's roof land with a loud echo startling myself and the outdoor gang. 

While Jeff is working today, I've spent the afternoon making a big pot of beef vegetable soup. I've thrown in  organic leeks and red chard, tomatoes with basil, potatoes, sirloin steak and a few other ingredients. 

When Jeff arrives home for dinner, I'll serve this up with rustic French bread and slices of Edam and Gouda cheese. Should kick off our weekend perfectly. 

                        Bon Appetite!
