It's getting dark here at 5 pm too. It was raining today, so I put a little pork roast in the oven, and we just finished dinner. Love those oven dinners on chilly days. House smelled so good.
Oh, me too...love that...and soup is back on the menu. We've been having a lot of homemade soup. I made a huge pot and we eat it for 2-3 days. ha. I don't know if that's being lazy or frugal or both. haha.
Wanda I made a new cookie recipe today to put up in the freezer for Christmas and it wasn't that good. Ugh. All that work. haha. I think I'll stick to my favorites from now on. Tomorrow we will try again. They won't go to waste, though, ...Taylor likes them. :)
Maybe that's why I hate to try some new recipes. In fact today it was my old standby, Chocolate Chip with nuts. I took some to the gals at the Thrift Store, maybe that's why I found such a great bargain. I just posted it!!!! If I were closer I'd try one...but Taylor can enjoy them for me.
Well, it wasn't a great loss. I mean, if it was 2 days before Christmas, I'd be more irritated. haha.
How sweet to take cookies to the thrift store! What a great idea. Remember your thoughtfulness at the checkout in the grocery last year and paying for that woman's cat food? I was thinking of that just today when The Mister told me over dinner that he paid the lunch tab for the table next to him in the restaurant. :) I helped a lady find her car in a parking lot the other day. Just little things, but they mean a lot, I think. It's fun to be a little spreader of sunshine, isn't it? :)
you know how I love fall and winter. I feel perfect in these season, maybe cause I born in June (here is really winter) sometimes to my birthdays years ago wehad snow and I loved:)
The frost is pretty, but a sure sign that winter is upon us. I'm having a cuppa tea, too. I'm having 'Sleepy Time' tea... very relaxing. What kind are you having?
And that cold is okay With no snow on display Although the heat may cost I will take the frost You just keep the snow And all will be right at my show haha
ah but it leaves the world covered in glittering jewels....it is def pretty....wish it would lay off my windows though...ha...doesnt it know the price of gas and cost of warming up the car...smiles.
I love the frosty air and all the frosty things outside. I talked to a man today at our local Wal-Mart from Staten Island. He said they had 10 inches of snow last night! Wow! and that after being out of electricity for a week! I would have been happy to take it off of their hands!
well I don't know where it originates from. I just know they eat a lot of it here!
I made one and froze it for the guys to take along to the hunting cabin for breakfast and it's still here at home in the freezer along with the garlic bread that was meant to go with their Chili. sigh I guess they'll have a sweet treat to enjoy when they get home. lol
Very interesting how each of your boys can react differently to the same supplement. Glad that two of them are doing great on it. What benefits have you seen with them?
They seem to have a longer period of concentration, and seem to understand what I'm saying..they respond correctly the first time without me having to repeat myself. Too bad it didn't work for Harry, but I'm glad it was an easy fix. :)
oh yeah....we've had frost in the mornings for a couple of weeks. It's beautiful...and a sure sign snow is next to come! Although, we're still warming up nicely in the afternoons!
We have finally cooled down into the 60's for a few days, not enough for a frost but it is nice to be cool and to stop using the A/C. Maybe my electric bill will finally go down. I think that is such a great picture and almost makes me miss having such cold weather but then again maybe I will just enjoy the great pictures you post. Funny how you mention soups and that is the theme for this weeks Theme Thursday. Thought it would be fun to do something different this week. Soups are so good. I sure do hope you share your recipes with us. Love your recipes.
60 degrees is just about perfect, I think. I love it when you can open up the house, turn off the A/C and enjoy it like that. Hopefully it will stay like that for you for a while! You might even enjoy soup at that temperature! ha.
No frost here yet...still have geraniums and an Areca Palm outside..must get them in!!! Supposed to be warm on Sunday and Monday...perhaps then :o) Lovely photo Betsy...always something beautiful in NAture, eh??
Enjoy your weekend...we are off to the Lake...need to put some shutters up..
Looks like the icing or "frosting" on a cake! Wow, I'm pretty smart for it being so early in the morning and all. :) We're having a cool down in our weather today also. It's only supposed to get in the 70's! I'm so excited and looking for a sweater. I LOVE sweater weather.
Frosty outside, but I bet it's warm as toast inside...are you having a cuppa coffee?
ReplyDeleteI'm just about to make a cup of tea! Yes, toasty inside! But black as night outside already! This time change is hard to get used to! lol....

Deleteyou know how I love fall and winter. I feel perfect in these season, maybe cause I born in June (here is really winter) sometimes to my birthdays years ago wehad snow and I loved:)
Deleteyes, snow is so beautiful! After the leaves fall and all is grey and bare, I'm ready for snow!
DeleteThe frost is pretty, but a sure sign that winter is upon us. I'm having a cuppa tea, too. I'm having 'Sleepy Time' tea... very relaxing. What kind are you having?
ReplyDeleteI'm having green tea with sugar. :)
DeleteGreat frost detail on this photo.

DeleteAnd that cold is okay
ReplyDeleteWith no snow on display
Although the heat may cost
I will take the frost
You just keep the snow
And all will be right at my show haha
I'd take frost over heat any day,
Deletebut I'm just weird that way.

Sometimes I would too
DeleteBoth beats snow at my zoo
ah but it leaves the world covered in glittering jewels....it is def pretty....wish it would lay off my windows though...ha...doesnt it know the price of gas and cost of warming up the car...smiles.
ReplyDeletewell, that's true. But I still love it! ;)

ReplyDeleteOh, my! I would be like him and travel west...come back in a month when it's all over!
DeleteThey were in the area for an Amish wedding. I asked if he understands German and he laughed a little and said no but he understands the food. haha
Deletehaha...that's cute. I was thinking of your shoefly pie again...I've always thought that was a southern food. Shows what I know. lol...
Deletewell I don't know where it originates from. I just know they eat a lot of it here!
DeleteI made one and froze it for the guys to take along to the hunting cabin for breakfast and it's still here at home in the freezer along with the garlic bread that was meant to go with their Chili. sigh I guess they'll have a sweet treat to enjoy when they get home. lol
Or you girls could eat it and they would never know! :)
Deleteha thought of that but then I'd have to camp out at the gym!
Deletehaha..oh, I know! The comfort food and halloween candy are gonna catch up to me. I need to be good until Thanksgiving!

DeleteVery nice. Love the photo. One frosty morning I will take my camera outside and catch some Frigid Ruffles of Shimmery Trim too.
ReplyDeletePlease do! I'd love to see your frosty photos! :)
DeleteLooks too perfect! Did you apply something to each individual leaf and capturing this masterpiece?? ;-)
ReplyDeletehaha...no, only God can do this kind of art. :)
DeleteBrrrrrr (shiver)
