Autumn has truly fallen for me today; I cooked an acorn squash and filled the center of it with chili. It was sooo good ~~~ a sweet golden squash brimming with a spicy, delicate turkey chili. This dish is a metaphor for life sweet and spicy. Cool nights bring out the urge for stews, soups and other cold weather foods.
Seasons changing and particularly, fall, is one of the simple joys. As time falls back to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) this weekend, the Northeast plunges into darkness by 4:15 pm. By the time its dark when you leave for work and dark when you return home, the winter season's pleasures dim. The snow comes down, the Hawk --- cold temperatures and brutal , biting winds --- comes out and we are looking good fares to the Caribbean and Florida.

Now this is very visual. Even though I am a southerner, originally from the Smithfield area of Birmingham, Alabama, I could see the sqaush and feel the cold weather.
Billi, are you a creative writer by trade?
