doorstep cheer

the season has definitely changed. my strawberries gave their all and have died. my herbs also have given their life to great success. so i snipped the last of my oregano (and made a rockin' soup with it!) and said goodbye to the lifeless stems. it is simply time for pumpkins. so green gives way to orange, which will soon usher in the red of Christmas cheer. the Lord our God is beautiful.

these pumpkins will sit looking lovely. and then, sometime before thanksgiving, they will become culinary vessels. it's tradition. they must die and be resurrected to greater glory. and we will be warmed and filled with potpie goodness. :)

This reminds me that I want to paint our front door. Did you paint yours or was it that way when you moved in? What is a nice color that's beautiful yet versatile with the seasons?

our door was green when we moved in. i'd paint a front door black, red, or chocolate brown. those are the colors that first come to mind. those are classy too.
