What “joy in the morning” to finally welcome Fall! Here’s to pumpkins, sparkling apple cider and dining “al fresco” on the deck without mosquitoes! Some my favorite October photos are below -- split pea soup w/ toasted croutons, a colorful tabletop decor and roasted pork tenderloin, sweet potatoes & apples.
