fire burn and cauldron bubble

Yesterday was the Autumnal Equinox and the official start of my favorite season. Though it is still the mid-80s this week it won't be long before there is a chill in the air, punkins by the roadside and stews for dinner. Last week i was making chicken noodles (how much do you love the $5 rotisserie chicken at Sam's Club? Eat it hot, then make sandwiches, then chicken salad, then boil the carcass for soup - all for $5!!!) and was mesmerized by the bubbles. I mean, at one point after stirring i found myself just staring at pot. Then i felt compelled to take pictures of it There is something reassuring about the smell of simmering stew and the steady pop, pop, POP of the bubbles. sigh... i love you autumn
