It's here, I am sure...

 Fall...

Aconitum..monkshood is last to bloom here..

Poisonous..so beware:)

We have 2 lovely crabapple trees and one on our borrowed landscape..

 

Those blossoms turn into cute little hard as rock apples until they fall on the ground and some get mushy..SOOOO many this yr..

I could fill at least 4 wheelbarrows..but I didn't..

Pelting rain..much cooler..falling leaves..  All of a sudden hier après-midi..fall is happening after a neverending summer.

One of the beauty days we had burgers on the BBQ.We make all the patties with several  ings  not purists here.. and freeze them ..One thing we have discovered..is that home made buns are best.

I vary recipes..

This one was good..you can find it here..

Bread machine is my way for sooo many doughs..not for actual baking...

Speaking of which..I made a challah recipe I have made before.. you can find the recipe here.. but I fashioned it this way.

T..my friend ..often sends me posts she thinks I will enjoy or we would both enjoy..this was one of them..She is a great bread baker on her own..and I am grateful for her links:)

When the boys were Littles..I decorated for Halloween..now..no..lol just a few touches..I do wish I had fall fabric for the porch swing and wicker furniture..We have one fabric store.. ap 20-25 mins away. and if you are not a member you pay so much more.I'd love a JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby here.More affordable.My next Hobby Lobby trip a few meters of fall.

OMGEESH the cost of things now is ridiculous.

Nothing is $1.00 at our dollar stores.. I know it's now $1.25 in the US..but here? Many items are now $4.00 ..many many many many..most.

This is small scale..Home! Rents! Food! What is happening? How will all our littles be able to manage?

And with AI?

What about that..

Covid changed so much..pre-covid..things were not as pricey..

Travel must be through the roof..Staying put.

Time to gather your herbs and make bouquets garnis again:)

I took the opportunity of making several when I brought in my herbs to make the bread.. ..they have to dry before I tuck them in a jar.

Froze lots of things for winter..I'll be glad to pull out a bag of  leeks and make soup:)Tomato starters..hrebs..basil especially..pestos..

All of it.

Home Sweet Home.

So grateful .

For my Family .

Fitting..it's Thanksgiving weekend here.

Take care..
