Share Six: november 2024: Change of Seasons

Can you believe it is November? Down in the south there is a minimal {Change of Season} but I chose the theme because I know that up north they are seeing the seasons change and it is a beautiful thing to see. Living in South Florida, the only thing that changes is the time. In a few weeks the clocks will be changed and it will get darker earlier. The green stays green, the air cools ever so slightly, we become winter wanna be people and I am grateful it gets darker earlier and I have a justifiable reason to put my PJ’s on and go and read.

So this month I had to improvise. What brings about the {Change of Season} for us. Running up to Halloween in the USA is pumpkin season. It is the only time of year I am able to buy and stock up on pumpkin. I then pre-make soup without the cream, and I freeze it for the winter. In case you need to know, pumpkin soup in our house is made with fresh pumpkin, potatoes, salt, pepper, curry powder and cream. It’s one of my favorites over the winter season.

Each year we go to a local church where they have pumpkins to buy. I take photo’s of Luka in the pumpkin patch and then we buy pumpkins. Amy for Halloween, and me for my soup. This year Luka’s personality really came out. He had such fun playing with the straw that was lying in the walkway between the pumpkins. But like anything, after a while he has had enough.

Here is Luka’s pumpkin patch photo’s and the start to our {Change of Seasons}.

And a few more serious poses.

And the picture I am going to frame.

And finally, enough of the pics.

Our seasons don’t change much, we don’t get the beautiful leaves, so the pumpkins are the one addition that we have to the seasonal changes for the year. For the past 3 years we have taken Luka to the same pumpkin patch and so I combined the 3 images to see the changes. This season has really brought out his personality. He is a beautiful playful little boy. We rarely have tears. He is a joy to be around and I look forward to seeing the changes next year, although I want the year to go slowly. He is growing too fast.

This is a circle blog and as I mentioned, we have some very talented artists in the group. Take some time to follow the links and see what they have for you this month. My incredibly talented friend Lupji Photography is up to share next. I can’t wait to see what he has to share. You can see more of his work by clicking on his Instagram page.

See you again soon. In the interim, stay well.
