Baking

It's that time of year when lots of baking happens.

We have a granddaughter here this weekend so I knew that baking would be out of the question.  I baked these two apple pies on Wednesday and delivered them to friends on Thursday.  Dan was the driver for me because of the snow.

I was going to bake another pie today, Saturday, but realized that I better plan to take cookies to the church Thanksgiving potluck instead. 

Baked these oatmeal almond chocolate chip cookies on Wednesday as well.

Next week I'll be making two pumpkin pies to take to the family Thanksgiving gathering on Thursday.

Then it's on to baking cookies for Christmas!

Vexed

... with Blogger.

Now the problem is that I can't see my sidebar unless I sign out of Blogger and sign back in.

What gives?

11/17 - Issue seems to have resolved itself.

Late Fall And Early Winter

We had our first snow today.  We have had no fall to speak of.  Why is winter coming on so fast?

First snowflakes.

It was supposed be a dusting on the grass and raised surfaces with nothing accumulating on the roads.

Well the weather proved the forecast wrong.  Not sure of the accumulation but roads were a mess. 

Schools canceled after first delaying opening.

It's mid November!  Is this a taste of the winter we are to have?

Below before 8 am.

Below at 10 am through the bedroom window.  Sorry for the screen.

Lunch in the Woods

Last Sunday a group from church gathered for a walk in the woods and lunch at the creek side destination.

It was a blue sky day - one of very few that we have had this fall.

The youngest in the group was 5 and the oldest in their 70s.

Communing with nature with like minded friends made for a perfect outing.
