Nothing different here, sun is out, it will be 91. My husband loves chestnuts but we don't have an open fire for him - he does them in the microwave.

We are going to roast the chestnuts on the fireplace. I like the smell, I like the chestnuts and tomorrow I will hate to have to clean the fireplace.

@LadyDuck oh it's gloomy here too surprisingly! We got a little rain for the past two days now! But the leaves aren't really crisp if not already

they're slowly having pumpkins at some stores but not many!

Well, in my country, we don't have those four seasons. So, no, it does not feel 'autumn' where I live.

But I love seeing your (part of the world's) pictures of autumn. The colors. They are beautiful.

This week up until now it has been summer-like although there's that coolness at night that heralds the autumn. I do love this time of year but hate what it brings- Winter! Btw I love seeing the wares in your markets in Switzerland and that beige pumpkin is here too and is my favourite type!

@MarymargII In the bags on the left of the pumpkin there are cubes of pumpkin, for people who do not like to have to clean and cut it. On the further left there are sliced white mushrooms.

I'm hoping not to feel the autumn here too quickly, for that means the colder weather is around the corner too. Our temps today was 75 yet it was quite muggy which normally doesn't happen until the temps rise above eighty, so that was different. And, there wasn't any wind to cool any of us off. We finished our second of the two larger buildings of the condo's today. It went much better than last week since we got it done in one day instead of a day and a half, although we did have another guy to help with the taller balconies. We have mushrooms all summer long in our stores, although the pumpkins have been out for just over one week now and some of the decorations we sell too like corn stalks and hay.

The temperature is around 55 F in the morning, that is pretty cool for the season. Today is sunny and right now the temperature is 65 F. We also have farm mushrooms all the year round, but not the kind of mushrooms (the porcini) that only grow in the woods and only a couple of months a year. You cannot even compare the taste with the others.

@MarshaMusselman I think that you are talking about morels, they are also pretty expensive but very different from the Porcini. I would never put mushrooms on a pizza.

@LadyDuck Maybe your porcini is similar to our Murrells. Not sure of the spelling on that. I personally can live without mushrooms. If they are big and juicy on pizza's then I pick them off and give them to my husband. I don't know that farmer's markets in the area sell Murrells, but I do know of a few friends to go to the woods to find them each year.
