Purple is a Fall Color

Purple is a Fall Color, Polka Dot Radio playlist

I look out the window and all of the back yard trees are brilliant shades of orange and red. It’s lovely. A few weeks ago, when there was still some green to be seen, I treated myself to a roll of Lomochrome Purple so I could indulge in a bit of film photography with a fantasy color palette.

I also made a new playlist, and I called it Purple is a Fall Color. Despite the name and the cover image, the idea of “purple” doesn’t feature prominently in these songs. In fact, I am fairly sure the word “purple” does not appear in a single title or lyric of the 20-odd tracks. Sometimes a playlist cover is just a playlist cover.

I have so many new things to share – more shirts and dresses sewn, a finished knit shawl, photos from Scotland – but the most overdue of them all is this Summer playlist.

Have a listen and tell me what you think!

So today I’m all about a fairly simple topic: some new playlists you might like, and the online tools I used to make them.

Ginger Peach and Plum Crisp

Small bowl of Ginger Peach and Plum Crisp, ready to eat

I made up this new dessert, based on my Wineberry Crisp recipe. Instead of wineberries it would feature the flavors of a brown betty that I made half a lifetime ago. But I had a bit of a mental block about the primary ingredients, that I only realized mid-recipe-assembly. Oops! Despite that, the end result was good enough to share. So here it is 😋
