Oops, it's November...

And we haven't posted much lately. Granted, we did go to Yosemite and hike Half Dome. So, there's that. Also, Matt got a new job, and I traveled to Atlanta briefly and worked absolutely way too many hours in October.

We did manage to squeeze in some fun in the last month or so. For starters, we went to an awesome Bluegrass Festival in SF with friends, visited Harley Farms (again), spent a day picking pumpkins in Pescadero, planted some new veggies, and toured Montalvo Gardens in Saratoga. We also enjoyed lots of yummy autumn-themed food, which apparently is the only thing I've been taking photos of lately. Here's a sampling:

Matt and I went to our favorite pumpkin patch in Pescadero for pumpkins. Matt is also demonstrating inadvertently here that it is still in the 80s here on most days.

We've been roasting and eating a lot of chestnuts.

We discovered a new organic produce stand.

Look at the amazing texture on those eggs!  The white ones were actually a very pale shade of blue.

Sweet potatoes have made a come-back in our diets lately.  Here's a rosemary potato dish I conjured up for last Saturday's brunch.

The peas are growing so fast they've climbed out of their anti-squirrel cage already. Time for another trip to the hardware store...
