November 1
Nov. 1st, 2024 09:41 pmIt was such a beautiful blustery day, today. Very first day of November vibes. Huge gusts of winds tossing the leaves everywhere, rain rain rain and then bright sparkling sun breaks. I took a couple of walks in the sunshine, it was soooo delightful. Collecting leaves and stealing a couple tiny marigolds, for my altar. My altar is not really anything but a collection of love on the kitchen table at the moment, but that feels good enough for now. I am too saddened by too much loss to do more, this year.
It was nice getting all my work done. I also cooked lots more cauliflower mushroom, soooo delicious, and had steak and veggies and roasted more pumpkins for pie tomorrow. I am too tired to try to get one done before bed tonight, but I have tomorrow off, blessedly.
Made some food for Josh, chicken and veggies and several slices of this new treat I started making him. I saw a pastry that was roasted squash and goat cheese and took the inspiration to do something similar at home. I had extra leftover roasted pumpkin from last week's pie, so I bought some fancy goat cheese so that I could make this treat: buttered toast with a generous thick spread of pumpkin puree, toasted to warmth in the toaster oven, with a little salt, pepper, and freshly chopped rosemary, and after it comes out of the oven, dollops of goat cheese on top. I could also top it with the freshly roasted pumpkin seeds from pumpkin carving Wednesday, which we are still munching on, but it doesn't really need it. Toasted hazelnuts would also be lovely but again, not necessary. He calls it "pumpkin pizza" which makes me really happy. It is indeed delicious.
He picked up a slight cold, alas.
I had a lot of fun on silks today. Unusual to have a Friday off of in-person sparkling (I still worked several hours at home today but at least didn't have to go anywhere), I am so grateful.
Ah, I promised photos:
I still have lots of photos from Joshua Tree to organize and share somewhere, I still didn't write about that trip did I, alas.
I also really need to hash out some stuff about Finley but I am just not up for it at the moment, erf.
Maybe tomorrow will be better.
I am sooooooooooo extra muchly in love with Joshter right now. Things are the best they've ever been and he's being even more kind and supportive than usual. I didn't think he would ever feel like home to me, but after so many good years together, after so much consistency, it's starting to feel like maybe I could, one day, feel at home again, after losing that feeling as my family fell apart when I was young.
