Fall reflection

6, count them, 6 mushroom risotto.

A perfect wet, chilly night for my favorite fall meal. The kids are not as excited.

My favorite New Yorker cover - so creatively smart.

It’s getting close - three weeks ‘till Halloween.

Stopped and watched the sun set over this field on my way back up to the mountains yesterday.

“Something succeeds if it is itself: victor and defeated, living and dead, are not separate states but a continuum; success and failure are only different faces of the same thing.”

Wanted to share with you the photos from my students taken at our retreat at Susan’s farm (click through for the gallery). We spent the first half of the afternoon shooting and the last half editing and retouching (and, as you can see, drinking wine!) Pretty impressive work.
