Nesting

It seems we are plunging headlong into Autumn.

I could be happier!

By the weekend, temps will be down in the 60's during the day...

and I'll be rolling out the knitwear and boots once again!

Yay!!!

When Autumn arrives, I find myself over come with "nesting" syndrome.

I find myself baking, cooking comfort foods, re-decorating the house...

happily preparing my home for the upcoming winter months.

Yesterday I "put-up" the sauerkraut that has been fermenting in crocks

over the past 8 weeks.

The result: 20 quarts of sauerkraut.

Enjoying my time in the kitchen, I then baked another pan of apple/cinnamon baked oatmeal.

And realizing we were without desserts, I baked peanut/chocolate chip cookies, too.

A dozen green peppers were then stuffed and baked in tomato sauce.

It seems I am not the only one who gets a burst of energy in the Autumn...

Daphne and Chloe have been quite playful this past week, as well.

Well, at least Chloe is playful.
Perhaps if Daphne took a moment away from grazing,
she would not be as plump as she is!
