Boy oh boy!
We have just had the longest stretch of nice weather!
It has been sunny and warm (sort of coolish), perfect for fall walks and leaf peeping.
That's what my sister says people who sight see the fall colours are called down in New Hampshire..."leaf peepers"!
The birds, squirrels and chipmunks are cleaning out the feeders faster than I can fill them.  We must be in for a long winter.
I still have lots of tomatoes in the garden...I still have some blossoms on the pepper plants, but no more peppers.  I don't usually get a lot of peppers and now it might be too cold to produce more peppers.
One of my neighbours squash plants has invaded my garden..it has taken over!
hehehe...AND producing squash!   I love squash!....I an watching those carefully.
The other day I made a large pot of chicken soup....then decided I didn't feel like just chicken soup, so I put a bunch of tomatoes from the garden in it.
Oh my,  was it ever good.
Now I am considering just making tomato soup.
The mister will eat soup anytime, summer or winter.  When ever we go out to dinner, he starts with soup....
When we were first married and I would make soup, he would complain it was too thick, more like stew.  He didn't really like stew.  He doesn't complain about that anymore.  Now he likes stew.   
Now the weather has gotten cooler still, and we have had a bit of rain.
Soon we will have to pull out the tomato and pepper plants and the neighbours squash plant.  The trees out the front are getting hit with frost, it won't be long and the plants out back will be nipped too.
