So far, we're enjoying having seasons (ask me again in February, and that might change :). The autumn weather has been here since about mid-September and it seems to make all of the seasonal treats and activities even more enjoyable. In California, I would drink hot pumpkin spice lattes in 80 degree weather just to make it feel a little bit like fall. Here, there is no need to pretend it's autumn, the weather tells you it is! And, hot soups and chowders and pumpkin treats feel natural at this time of year. So, we have been enjoying all that the season has to offer.
In addition to all of our normal activities (music class, cooking class, swimming lessons, football lessons), we have been getting ready for Halloween, of course! We had a pumpkin carving playdate with some friends, we went to an early Halloween party, and we went out to a farm in Surrey where we picked our own sweet corn and saw lots of other crops, including pumpkins! We made a delicious chowder with the corn we picked and have made lots of pumpkin treats in the last month (my favorite!). And, we celebrated Chris' birthday this month! It's been a while since we've been able to celebrate his birthday together on his actual birthday, so it was nice to finally be living in the same place and be able to celebrate together!
Happy Halloween everyone! Nathan is very excited for Halloween, so look for another blog post after Wednesday with lots of pictures of our little dinosaur!
Here are some pictures of us enjoying autumn:
