Fall Harvest.....

It's that time of year again. Fall. One of our 4 favorite seasons. Some of the things that happen in our family in Fall:

  • getting out-fitted for new skates for feet that have grown.

  • purchasing new hockey gear.

  • a busy hockey schedule for both little player and Daddy coach.

  • decorating for Fall with pumpkins and leaves and candles.

  • making pickled beets and mustard pickles.

  • wearing socks again.

  • picking apples from the little tree in our yard.

  • getting up early for school and children making beds again.

  • re-organizing the pantry as nesting for winter takes root.

  • tucking the boat in for winter.

  • baking homemade bread, cookies and goodies.

  • soup recipes and crockpot dusted off after the summer.

  • another season of early morning Sundays for a skater.

  • homework and packed school lunches.

  • stocking up on fresh produce from the Farmers' Market

  • and a NEW chore for this fall: poop-scooping in the backyard.
Thanksgiving dinner is only 2 weeks away. I am so excited to have family visiting for this holiday.
It is time to harvest all that is good.

funny bunny.....


My mom made this cute cake quite often when I was growing up as an Easter treat, so the first thing I asked her when I learned that she & Dad were coming for Easter is if she could make the bunny cake with the kids. We use our traditional white butter birthday cake recipe for two 9" circles which we then cut into the parts to make the bunny. The kids call it the "funny bunny" cake and we have had more fun looking at it. We had a great Easter weekend with Mom & Dad. We had lots of fun eating, shopping, and playing games. We had a ham dinner on Easter sunday and watched some fun movies. This is the first time that Mom & Dad have visited where we didn't have hockey or skating to attend, so it was a nice change.
