Orange

My favorite fall color is orange.

It is the color of tasty neutrality, neither a complete failure or a total success:


The resulting pumpkin butter was more like pie filling. It just didn't seem right to spread on toast. It's in a big mason jar in the fridge and I may make a tartlet pie next week or something. Its still pumpkin season, so I'm going to do a little more research and find a different recipe and try again.


It is the color of nature's finish line:


The japanese maple in the back is happy. I keep digging it out from underneath the rampant prehistoric ferns that dominate the woods. They commonly grow to six feet or taller.
