Kingston, NY Farmer's Market

Hello again. Sorry for the long silence on my part. We spent July and August settling into our new home. And then, at the end of August, my dear dad, Joel, passed away totally unexpectedly at the age of just 66. Here's a photo of the two of us at Rahm's and my wedding - one of the happiest days of my life. I'm so glad he was there to share it with me.

As you can imagine, life has gotten even busier and a whole lot more sad. I'm still trying to wrap my mind and heart around the idea that he is gone - it's pretty hard to fathom. I have not had much time to cook in the past few weeks, nor much of an appetite, so even if there had been time to blog, there would have been nothing to write about!

But as the shock of my dad's death begins to fade a little, I find that I am regaining some of my appetite for life (and food.) We're having Indian summer right now - the sky is a clear blue, the leaves are turning yellow, orange and red, and the weather is surprisingly warm. Yesterday morning, Rahm and I decided it would be a good day to stroll around the lovely Saturday farmers market in Kingston, NY's historic stockade district with our little Will. And I remembered to bring the camera.

Below is a slideshow of some of the photos I took of the fall bounty. Enjoy. And I hope to write more soon.
