The week flew by for me and it seemed each day when I got out of bed, the colors on my trees were a bit more vivid than the day before. It is not the best foliage that we have ever had, due to the drought, but the oranges, browns, yellows and an occasional coral can be found near our home. Also the fruit trees are shedding their leaves.
Here are this weeks Friday Five, and I hope that your Autumn is going along swimmingly.
1. Both Hubby and I are finally at the tail ends of our colds! This one lasted for close to three weeks. And just seemed to hang on. It is so nice to get out of bed and actually feel well and rested and ready to start the day!
2. I made my first Apple Pie of the season and although it tasted okay, it literally fell apart when sliced and served. After researching this problem, I have read that one must make their own crust from scratch, as a store bought crust, will not cook the apple as they should be cooked. I will test this out next week and report in.
3. I have started a hat for my darling Savannah. I have not crocheted in many years, but I really want to crochet hats for my grandchildren. So I am working on them now. I was going to wait until Christmas, but Hubby says he thinks I should show Savi how I am making them. I think this is a good idea. Next time I go down I will bring it along and finish Savannah’s hat for her and give it to her then. Quinn’s hat will come next.
4. My sister’s dear, sweet, kitty, Sammie, passed away.
Now I want to go with her when she returns to Japan to see this beautiful country myself!
Very lonely here without our Sammie! Love YOU, Mel
Glad that the colds are finally going away.
Sorry to hear about Sammie 🙁
