well hello there fall (color series)

All that rain + wind brought in a fierce change of weather. 60's today, with bright sunshine and a light breeze. With officially just three days till Autumn I noticed today the first leaves changing color. No matter where I have been, and where I have lived, nothing beats fall in New England. Nothing. I can never decide which color is my favorite, orange, yellow or red.

The unofficial colors of summer. Why? Because nothing says summer more to me then red, white and blue! The first strawberry crop is small, but sweet and delicious. Fourth of July is just a month from now. We will be knee deep into summer by then! Happy Weekend !

Couldn't resist snapping a few shots yesterday. I was so inspired by this color, I actually bought some tomatoes and basil so I could make my favorite pasta for dinner. It is almost summer people! Enjoy the rest of the sunshine this weekend in the Northeast!

the easiest pasta ever.

I am not the fanciest or best cook, but I do love it.

One of my favorite and easiest go-to dishes is this pasta my sister showed me how to make about 15 years ago. It is basically a bruschetta served over fresh pasta. I made it last night in a pinch (starving hungry) with limited ingredients in the fridge, I always seem to have Penne on hand. In the summer, I grow my own basil and have tomatoes in my kitchen garden. I also live a stones throw away from an organic farm, so finding heirloom tomatoes is very easy.

I have almost every color in my garden right now.  Stay tuned for yellow, orange, purple, and green. Thanks to my great friend, Debra for finding this old CT milk bottle at a tag sale (in Ohio of all places) . And also thanks to Debra, for her patience almost ten years ago while shopping in Lisbon, Portugal for the blue and white dish towel I so treasure.  I think I spent hours at that little shop. Everything has a story behind it. That is what I love about photography. P.S. in case you are wondering those are heirloom black beauty tomatoes.
