As long as it isn't snow we can get out and go
So that's what we did sticking to the grid
Of paved roads alone until it was time to head home.

I think the highlight of our day was the warm freshly baked pumpkin pie Kelly brought home from the Mennonite Market south of Bayfield this afternoon. I like my pumpkin pie to taste like pumpkin pie so I didn't put any ice cream on my piece. I've never cared much for mixing two wondrous 'delight's together. If I was having a bowl of ice cream I wouldn't want a slice of pumpkin pie dumped on it. I like my ice cream to taste like ice cream. And who's the wad that came up with a slice of cheese with apple pie anyway. Is there no shame.
'Wad'.....Scottish National Dictionary: To use the word wad, implying helplessness, indecision, or insincerity on the part of the speaker, as professing an intention he does not really mean.

Skies finally began clearing by late afternoon with a few shafts of sunlight tumbling through the pine trees into our front yard. Looking at the calendar I noticed it was already the 28th of September. A month from now we'll be staring November in the face and it will be less than a month to Christmas. I've been digging out my warmer clothes and already I start my cooler mornings out with a warm T-shirt covered by a long sleeved shirt and jacket. In a month from now I will likely have switched from jacket to winter coat already. All depends on the weather of course but November is notoriously known as the worst month of the year with it's cold winds and rain, leafless trees and gray bleak landscape. Awwww nuts now I've gone and depressed myself...…………...

That groaner was an old but goody. I am miffed that our temps fell so quickly and I feel cold when I go outside. However I am feeling like staying for the Winter and do not want to leave my home this year. It will pass and we will be on our way on 17 November as it will have hopefully cooled enough on Cocoa Beach. Keep enjoying the change in seasons Al.
ReplyDeleteI liked the horse pictures. One positive and one negative.
ReplyDeleteI like the wet berries & wet horse. No doubt the cooler temps are upon us. Hope your November is full of sunny clear skies.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you if I'm eating pumpkin pie then that's the way I want it, ice cream is the best by itself and who came up with cheese on apple pie that's gross.
ReplyDeleteI love the horse it is beautiful
Nice pictures on a rainy day. Not a fan of pumpkin pie , if I do have it I think ice cream makes it tasty better. As for Apple pie, with a nice fresh chunk of extra old cheddar on the side works for me, not on the pie though.
ReplyDeleteWe can still have some pretty decent fall weather yet, best to enjoy it while we can.
91 deg. NE Tennessee today-to feel like 100! This is totally unusual for September but I will handle it knowing cold times are coming real soon. Smothering hot is bad but cold is much worse for me. One 10 minute rain past Friday in two months! So enjoying your daily posts! Animals lovely. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about pumpkin pie and ice cream. I've never figured out the cheese thing with pie. I love that photo of the cow, such cool animals. Reading you talk about the coming winter and I sigh now and I remind myself I am far away from single digit temps and fleece lined Wranglers.
ReplyDeletePumpkin pie with whipped cream--real whipped cream! And yes, I'm with you--what wad ever came up with cheese on top of apple pie--yuck!!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid we are in the same boat without a paddle this Winter. We won't be going anywhere, mostly due to doctor appts. Also our 104 year old aunt was just put in a nursing home and her house needs some serious care. I hate having to miss another Winter of travel, but sometimes life just gets in the way. Maybe we can compare snowfall totals monthly..hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on simply enjoying one flavour at a time.
ReplyDeleteLove those pictures of the dripping wet berries!
