Friends, I’m thankful for real life community. I was able to go “home” a few weeks ago, and not only did I love the vivid colors, I loved seeing family and friends.

I partook of a couple of gathering feasts, and sat back and took it all in.

The colors in the Rogue Valley are so incredible right now!

Kristin’s mums were aMAZing in her garden! (How does she grow them so big?)

Both nights I enjoyed soup at different friends’ houses (fall is soup, right?). I’ll be sharing Kristin’s recipe here soon, an Easy Ministrone Soup, but with homemade pesto! So good!

I was able to visit some of my favorite friends (in their 80’s). A real treat!

On the way home, I stopped by my favorite Beckie’s Restaurant, for their famous Huckleberry Pie!

I came home and froze it (wrapped in plastic wrap + foil), and served it last weekend when company came to town! We treated the pie like gold! :)
