Turned the red currents on the left into Currant Jelly. It's so rewarding to turn what you grow into something special.

Turned these cherries from our tree into Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. Such fun.

Finally took our honeymoon in the Bahamas after our wedding in August.  There is nothing better than the feel of warm sand between your toes in January.  Back to the cold reality of Minnesota.

Cozy.

Happy November!  Chilly start.  Pond was a little icy this morning.

Carved pumpkins tonight.  Just need to get candy and we’ll be all set for Halloween.  Hope we get a lot of trick-or-treaters, the forecast is for a high of 45 degrees on Friday.  If not, I guess I’ll be stuck with a lot of chocolate… the horror!

We had great fun and so spooky!

My little Meyer Lemon tree produced 8 fruit (not counting what the squirrels got).  It loved being outside for the summer.

Time to make Meyer Lemon Pie!

Outside cleaning up the yard a bit, enjoying the sunshine, admiring the color of the Japanese Maple when I noticed this little guy doing the same.

The fall colors this year are AMAZING!
