Mum's the word

This is one of the many things I love about fall:

being able to buy a colourful planter filled with lots of cabbage that I suddenly like the look of after years of not so much

and having it look magnificent once home

and knowing that there will be enough rain falling not to have to water it

and enough leaves gone from the tree above to allow the rain through

and being able to take a picture of it to enjoy

while nice and dry, from inside the house

with a cup of hot chocolate.
