….the colors, the scents, the cooking….
I had a note from my youngest sis today, and independently, we had decided to spend the next week in a similar manner. She and the girls have some time off from school at the end of this week. They are going to work on a scarecrow, carve a pumpkin, make some apple butter, clean up the herb garden, and pick apples from their tree.
A week ago, Dear Husband and I purchased a half bushel of Jonathan apples. I want to make some apple butter. I’ve used some of the apples to make applesauce, and an apple pie. A few more will go into a pork chop and apple dinner later this week. I want to try my hand again at baked apples. I haven’t done them in ages.

New Roof, Chapter 2
Well, we’ve called one of the roofers and made the commitment. He expects to start on our roof on November 7th, weather permitting. I hope that the weather will hold just three weeks more, not that I want to encourage the drought. It’s a tough call. I want my trees and perennials to get the water they need, but I want it to be dry for the roofing. Do you think that we could do the Camelot thing, and have it only rain at night??
