  Outside my window….. it is overcast and misty and the temperature is 53 degrees.  No laundry is going to be hung up today.  It’s a good day to stay inside and get inside stuff done.

  I’m thinking….. about making an applesauce cake.  It is apple time of the year and I’m inspired to do some “apple” cooking.

  I’m thankful…..  for a hard working husband and hard working children.  We spent the whole weekend preparing this place for the coming winter.

  From the kitchen….  sausage and peppers and onions for supper.  I need to use up the last of the peppers and tomatoes from the garden.

  I am wearing…… jeans and a pink tee shirt

  I am reading……  only things for school.  I need to stay on top of Matthew’s English literature reading and his biology.

  I am hoping…..  this mist doesn’t turn into full fledged rain.  Ian has hay to bale.

  I am hearing……  the washer spinning out the next load, the TV playing Matthew and Brett’s spanish lesson

  Around the house…. I need to finish the floors and then rearrange the furniture in the diningroom to accomodate the wood stove.

  One of my favorite things….. these nice cool fall mornings with just the hint of the turning leaves in the air.  I can even still smell the smoke from our bonfire that we had last night.

  A few plans for the rest of the week…..  go to Twin Orchards and pick up a few bushels of apples,  pick the last of the grapes and get started pressing them to make a batch of wine, finish blacking the stove and get it inside before it really turns cold, finish the garments that have been ordered before I get any more orders.

  Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you……

  

  One of my favorite sights in the whole world.  Three of my men working toghether and having a good time while they are doing it.  It’s a wonder that they get any wood split because they have to consult about how to properly split each piece.  But they are together and that is what matters the most.
