Lia – glad you got it. Speaking of Farmer’s Markets and gardens (ours froze before all the tomatoes ripened) . . I stopped at Julia’s Fruit Stand in Dairyville yesterday and bought a flat of tomatoes . . I’ve been eating them like candy. I was supposed to roast them but they taste so good I can’t stop. We picked all our green tomatoes before the frost so we at least have that. But the flatlanders still have tomatoes growing! So, I’ll probably be back down to get more taste of Summer.

[…] Friday, I wrote about nostalgiancholy being the predominant emotion of the season for me. And that holds true. But as the mornings grow […]

Kris . . . I’d imagine! I love, though, how there in the desert even there are such distinct yet subtle seasons.

Great way of summing this up. Of course, here in the desert…we are ready for the change but do feel sad when the pool toys make their way to the garage!

Kathleen…nostalgiancholy kind of says it all, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, my garden didn’t cooperate this year either. Hallelujah for the farmers market! Did you see the post on comfort with roast chicken? Inspired by the convo you and Deirdre and I had.

Steph…I’ve associated Neil Young with this time of year–maybe because of “harvest moon.” Glad you enjoyed! And you are so very welcome for the gift…thank you to YOU for the one you sent back. What a surprise! The rice looks fantastic, and the shirt will be perfect for Noe next summer.

I was trying to think of a word yesterday as I drove back from seeing my hospice patient and listening to the radio as Neil Young’s “Heart of Gold” came on. There was a feeling that started in my abdomen – a memory type of thing – and I kept trying to describe it. A song takes you there and “nostalgiancholy” is pretty good. It is gorgeous here right now too – the light has a certain definite slant. And I’ve been roasting tomatoes and clipping clusters of concord grapes and making juice. I too love this time of year . . but I miss summer and dread winter. Thanks for the recipes and also the gift – I used it today for the first time. The cashier just raved and I got a discount for not using paper/plastic!
