Thrice Sweet

Yesterday was a hot, tiring and challenging day. I had dinner with a friend at the end as a welcome reward. Golden pumpkin soup was on the menu. The colour does seem to glow:

It was thrice sweet:

• because it was real, made from scratch pumpkin soup
• because it was made for me by my friend
• because the pumpkin was home grown--I'd seen the vine sprout and flower and bear fruit.

Now I'd like to be able to reproduce that glowing golden colour in my dyepot.
