Fall Pastels

The shades I typically think of for fall are warm - reds, oranges, yellows - but interestingly though the colors I'm being drawn to right now along with the expected fall shades are these blue and green pastels. The squash above is a hubbard squash that I found at the farmer's market in Yakima. I am going to make a point of preparing it with dinner sometime this week, but right now it's beautiful to look at in my kitchen. The eggs are adding up now...one more since I took this picture. It is still just the one chicken laying, I'm sure the other six are going to begin in the next couple of weeks...I can't wait until I get two eggs (or more!) when I check!
