Serving Up a Simple Seasonal Supper



We had rain this morning!!!  That may not be exciting for many for you, but here
it is needed.  The rain has stopped and the temps are lovely, so we are having
a simple seasonal supper outside to appreciate this splendid fall evening.




I'm serving butternut squash soup in a hollowed out pie pumpkin.





And we are toasting the evening with some Pumpkin Ale.
Isn't that a great label?  It's a blogger's delight!




More big dark clouds are in the sky and we are expecting more rain.
I could not be happier!!

And of course I am joining ~

and

How about a walkie later with your momma and papa, Bentley?
Maybe we will walk over and have some ice cream.  I know
there are always other dogs at the ice cream parlor and they
have treaties too.

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  12. Hi dear Susan (and Bentley),

    The pumpkins over the door are pretty much a New England tradition in the old houses that have the shelf over the doorway. Yes, I think Sue does too.

    Loved seeing all this and reading your words. I don't ever tire of autumn.

    Love,

    Sharon

  20. Wouldn't I love to be at that al fresco table!?
    Up here the rain has continued - through the night and into today. We are still in the 'relieved and happy stage' as we will soon be allowed to light a fire in our stove - til now forbidden because of the extreme danger of fire. I'm loving the cosiness!

  23. Looks delicious. Storms are headed our way and it is really blowing outside. I whipped up salmon, fresh broccoli, acorn squash, and baked potatoes for Sunday dinner. I am now lying on the couch groaning :)
