Sunshine and Shadows

This morning was beautifully bright. The sun streaming through the dining room windows threw a weird shadow of my spinning wheel onto the sideboard - makes me think of a witch astride her broom? 

We went for a short walk through the woods before lunch. The track had turned orange - a thick carpet of shed larch needles, and shadows of the trees made an interesting pattern.

Appropriately, we had pumpkin soup for lunch - we had a bumper crop this year.
