Halloween Treat

Since Thanksgiving, this will be the fourth pumpkin pie I will dig into.  No, I am not ashamed of this, perhaps I should be, but there it is.  As soon as the leaves start to turn, I begin craving the pumpkin pie. In the summer it is beer that consumes me. Well, I suppose I do more of the consuming, but you know what I mean.  In the dead of winter, it is Merlot.  Dear God in Heaven, I love Merlot.  Thank-you for Merlot.  I love saying Merlot, and capitalizing it too.  Around the holidays, I devour any shortbread that crosses my path.  You want to make a new friend?  Make me a shortbread cookie stuck in a good size slice of pumpkin pie, serve it up with a cold glass of stout and follow that up with a nice big glass of Merlot.  I can assure you, we will be friends for life. Oh, and don't forget the dark chocolate, 90 percent or more, and that is year round and goes well with everything else I've mentioned.  There, now that you know how I eat year round, you won't feel the least bit guilty indulging in a few Halloween goodies. Have a Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

    Love that picture. Guess you aren't the ONLY one digging into a bit of pie! LOL

    I baked up two sugar pumpkins today. I see muffins in my future. I LOVE pumpkin pie, but I'm the only one in my family that does. :-(

    Hope you have a happy Halloween too.

A Blog Event That Caught My Eye

Image
This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered. I had absolutely no idea where it would go, how long it would last, or if I would get any response. As it turns out, none of that matters. I just love to do it. And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway. A stone necklace with various findings. All findings are silver plated and it has no clasp because it measures a long 33 inches. I can not wait to see what everyone else is doing.

Snow Day!

Image
It has been a wonderful, drawn out fall.  I've enjoyed easy walks around my yard well into December, and more time outdoors than I usually get during these first two winter months. This balance between indoors and outdoors is essential to keeping me feeling good.  I hate being cooped up in the house for too long without a breath of fresh air.  It makes me tired, and I'm a grouch when I'm tired. Yesterday, Old Man Winter decided to correct his oversight in our corner of the world, and deposited between 6 and 8 inches of snow.  It looked light and fluffy, but it was actually very dense and it took a lot of work on my husband's part to tidy up the driveway. The prairie I walk in out back was so completely whited out, it seemed as though I was getting nowhere, even though I could clearly feel the muscles in my legs straining to get me through the snow.  It is actually quite dizzying to be looking at nothing but pure white and trying to move forward.  I had ...
