soup sunday

it's soup time again and i'm a little sad and a lot excited. (love soup.)

the rains are finally here and jess, lara, and i inaugurated autumn with a trip to the southern oregon coast where lara grew up. it POURED. sometimes the sun would come out and we'd get excited because we'd be in the car on the way to the next destination. but inevitably, once we exited the car, the rains would come back. there's an amazing storm-watching spot near coos bay and thankfully a little shelter. but you can't take photos of the scariest stuff unless you have a waterproof camera.

oh yeah, soup.

i returned home this afternoon and lamented the need to go to the store. upon excavating my refrigerator, though, i found that i had some ingredients for a soup:
golden beets
russet potatoes
onion
garlic
celery
mushrooms

i've never made a soup with this combo before, but it looks nice. we'll see how it turns out in a bit.

i'm also not doing any laundry because THAT is a chore, but i have fresh undies, socks, trousers, and a funny grey suit i bought on the coast for 25-cents.

life, as they say, is good.
