It's fall

The start of fall always calls for a homemade apple pie...
 
 
 
and a hand embroidered flour sack towel.

wild rice

After being out of the kitchen for two weeks
my Betty Crocker hormones returned full force.
 
 
I left Minnesota craving a bowl of wild rice soup.
Besides 10,000 lakes, Minnesota is known for it's wild rice.
 
 
My homemade soup called for homemade bread.
 
 
I chose beer bread...so good and easy to make.
 
 
Homemade bread called for jelly...one thing leads to another doesn't it?
I had a small bowl of plums on the counter
 that I turned into plum preserves.
 
I love that it is soup season once again.
 
~b is for bowl of soup

Minnesota

We got back last week from
 two weeks of camping in Minnesota.

 
Turns out there is a lot to see one state over.
 
 
We had a  great time on the North Shore of Lake Superior.
 
 
There is plenty of water to enjoy in this state.

and shipped them off immediately to the shop that sells our things.


I am happy to report them as sold!

64

I turned 64 this week.
I'm calling it the best time of my life.
Retired...and carefree.

With the help of her mother,
I have a granddaughter that knows me pretty well
when it comes to a birthday gift.
By the way...
she is crazy about Sophia.

Who knew?

Daughter Knit and Pearl told her daughters
 that unicorns poop sprinkles...
 
 
And by gosh "They do!"
Who knew?
