Autumn is a beautiful, sherry-wine kind of season in America. The air smells nutty-sweet, and both the bounty and the light are burnished with bronze. Right now bins and baskets are brimming, as farmers across our vast land harvest and display their wares. Where I live the celebration of a fruitful season is in full swing.
In case you live in central Maryland and are curious, all these pics were taken yesterday at Frank's Produce (410- 799-4566), near Columbia, on 6686 Old Waterloo Rd. in Elkridge. It's open seven days a week through fall and also sells plants and flowers. The selection of local and regional apples is particularly impressive--usually between 12 and 15 kinds.

Our 2011 PA pumpkin patch has had a bad year... so sad. I am happy to report I made and froze enough of roasted pumpkin puree last year to see me through this year's Thanksgiving! Lovely pictures and post Nancy!!!
We had a lot of warty pumpkins and squash this year due to too much fall rain. But all things considered, the crops seem good. Thanks--I like the pics, myself--capture the spirit of the season, I think!
