Pumpkin heads discovered trailside!

Walking through autumn! Kicking leaves and enjoying the color show on our walk. Are you adventuring out to see the season change?

Hike on!

Coconut curry with chickpeas, zucchini, and corn. Something else to make with my summer explosion of squash! Yum.

Colorful harvest.

Wonderful hike today! It's amazing how colors can pop in a landscape that seems dried and done for the season.

I love the flowers this year. Sometimes, I have to go outside because they just make me smile.

Saturday hike. Back on, after all the smoke had halted them for a while. Yay!

It's one of my favorite things to do with yellow summer squash: ! What do you think?

It's not just rice and beans. It's layers of tomatoes. Overnight soaked black beans made with baby Romas, garlic, and chili powder. Brown rice made with garden tomato salsa and harrissa. Topped with oven roasted cherry tomatoes with oregano. It's rice and beans.

Cherry, cherry, and more cherry tomatoes. Baby romas, gold nugget, and sweet 100 varieties. What would you do with these treasures?

When life gives you squash, you make squash chips!

Eye level with a hawk on our Saturday hike! Are you getting outside to see what nature has to offer?

So excited to add carrots to the garden harvest!

A simple cherry tomato pasta salad is so good!

Now that's summer - dipping into cherry tomato salsa.

Morning hike.

Let the tomato season begin!

Today's harvest and today's lunch: with the thinly sliced squash, cucumber, and radishes. What are you eating to stay cool in this heat wave?

Sourdough discard pancakes for a fluffy, decadent breakfast. I added wheat bran and h**p seeds for a little more sustenance. Topped with raspberries and blueberries with a touch of maple syrup. Extras are in the freezer for a quick warmup in the toaster. I think this may be my secret super power -> always make too much, so we can eat twice!

What a treat to get a harvest early in the garden season! Garlic -> braided.

# #

Shiitake mushrooms, sweet peapods, and broccoli stir fry with a bit of hoisin sauce. Always a quick and yummy meal. What is your go- to quick dinner?

Watch out! This little guy almost got stepped on. And then hung out for photos on the trail.
Did you get outside today?

I am grateful for new paths in town along the irrigation canal. I love having an easy to access option for riding. Pedaling next to (what's left of agriculture) fields before the heat hits. Thank you, .
