Fall Beauty

Every fall we wait for my moms tree to change into a brilliant orange! When you go into the house you will definately know when it has changed color because the once white walls appear with an orange glow! It's a beautiful orange maple.. Just thought I'd share that with you!

Applesauce Preparation Experiment

Dan and Twila thought they would surprise me with an apple peeler/corer this past weekend! I had never used one and always wondered if it would be alot easier and quicker verses peeling by hand to make applesauce. I've always peeled apple after apple after apple!! To sum it up, an apple corer is alot easier if the apples are crisp! Dan and Twila were the operators and I was the kettle manager of ingredients!!! Thank you Dan and Twila - The applesauce tastes great!

Apple Picking

Last week Dave and I went to pick some apples - it was a beautiful day - sunny and warm. It was half price day to our surprise - so needless to say we came home with plenty of apples - I've made a few pies already and apple crisp of course and also plan on making some applesauce to enjoy this winter. We did have some visitors while we were at the orchard -

Of course I also took advantage of the scenery at the orchard and i thought it was

really "country" beautiful.

Prayers

Today - Katie - my nephew's wife - had asked for Extra Prayers and Positive Thoughts for her brother Dennis. Even though we don't know Dennis personally, I would like to help Katie and her family by asking everyone who knows me and reads this today and the days ahead to just take a minute or two out of your day and say a little word to God for Dennis' Continuing Strength through this difficult time for him and his family. I thank you!

Casey is happy that it is fall by the look on her face!!!!

Fall Greeting

Happy Fall

Loon

I just wanted to share this loon with everyone - Isn't he grand! We watched him at Toddy Pond this summer. We wondered if the loons have left the lake yet. Usually they gather in a circle and fly off - like they are having a meeting before they depart! You will need to click on it to get the full appreciation.......
