The Seasonal Transition
Hello to Autumn!
Soup weather brain lights brighten. Hot chocolate mugs are lined up. The crockpot silently sits on the counter.
There may be hot weather before the trees are all bare, but pumpkin hunting and hot soup season is here.

Day 261 of Week 38 September 2025
All week has felt like a Saturday to me. Posting the day and week numbers on Thursday instead of the usual Friday, feels right. I hope it doesn’t throw anyone off.
What new things have I learned this week?
The pumpkin version of Special K is pretty good (based on my limited ability to taste).
A quarter pound of Genoa salami is an act of denial for me because there is rarely enough left the next day to make the picnic sandwich I bought it for. I know I need a half pound.
I need a book to keep recipes in that has paper thick enough to glue cut outs in. My menu is so bland and predictable, my interest in preparing meals is nearing zero. I need to use recipe files.
I learned that if you don’t like something a person publicly advocates for, then in America, saying you don’t like that person, might get you targeted for hate speech. That is very scary. 😱
As for information I didn’t know, I remember listening and knowing the tips are new to me, but I forget what the tips are. They are something about hiking safety.
Oh! One is to not run because that can trigger a bobcat’s chase instinct. Back away slowly, look bigger, do not run.
What new have you learned this week?
