Autumn!

Apple Fun!

Come along with us on our annual trip to the apple orchard! It was a beautiful autumn morning. I'm glad that we got to get our apple cider doughnuts, apple cider slushies, and pick our apples before it started to drizzle!

My Favorite Day of the Week

 Saturdays are the best!

Friday

 

Today was a great day! The boys and I popped into our little health food store in town to buy a pumpkin candle to give to friends who just bought their first house!  While I was there, I noticed that there were tights and leggings on clearance for very low prices.  I've been looking for tights and leggings that have a high percentage of cotton and these fit the bill!  I am thrilled!

We visited our friends in the evening so that Father could bless their house.  It is a gorgeous old home (nearly a century old!) and I fell in love with all of the nooks and crannies.  The backyard was particularly charming! Dinner was amazing:  vegan tacos filled with beans, kale slaw, roasted cauliflower, roasted sweet potatoes, avocados, cilantro, and a drizzle of tahini dressing (tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and paprika).  Dessert was a vegan pear cake. It's wonderful to visit people in their homes (especially people who are good cooks!).  I love to see how they decorate and live.

In the Stands

 

While the boys play basketball, Sugar Plum and I keep pone eye on the drills and one eye one our embroidery, dolls, knitting, and homework.  It's quite a productive time!
