Sukkot is a Jewish Holidaythat is a harvest celebration and it is customary to build a 4-walled structure the is covered on top with greenery like palm leaves. This structure is called a Sukkah. Throughout the holiday you eat inside the sukkah and many sleep there, too. This was by far one of the most fun of the holidays as a kid.
Faith and I helped our mom and dad build and decorate our their sukkah last week and it looked so festive and jungalicious when it was all finished, so I had to share here.
I hope you are all enjoying the bounty of the harvest! Here are some of my faves that are in season: Beets, Blackberries, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Dates, Figs, Pumpkins and Sweet Potatoes.

Interesting to learn more about Sukkot – and you did a great job on building your mum and dad’s Sukkah. Love the fairy lights!
