I am glad you are back to blogging, dear Lydia.
ReplyDeleteSurely you had a bountiful harvest in your garden.
I love the photo and recipe for pumpkins in your first autumn post.
There are many pumpkin fields here in the area, where I go on walks. I love to see those big yellow and green vegetables growing.

Hello Olivia,
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's great to be back.
I love cooking with pumpkin. When there is a new pumpkin recipe and if it is vegetarian I'll usually try it. This one is delicious. Definately a keeper.
How nice that you have many pumpkin patches. Instead of growing summer squash in my garden next year, I'm going to make room to grow sugar pumpkins.
I'm still harvesting and storing. This summer was a great garden year for me.
Have a nice day,
Lydia
I am sure you will have good supplies
