arrived. In a sudden rush at the end of last week, the colors burst forth and the leaves are changing. It is a little hard to appreciate right now, in the middle of much needed rain, but the colors where glorious over the weekend and the temperature working on nice crisp mornings and pleasant days. This week - rain - but we need it, so no complaints.
Time for baking breads and getting out the crock pot - hearty beef stew, emphasis on fiber so yams to replace white potatoes - today we'll have arroz con pollo (chicken and yellow rice) and mixed meat chili - ground turkey and boca mix - much healthier - coming attraction. Baked two artisan breads with carrots, apples, cranberries, walnuts and raisins - whole grains - and harvest muffins with apples, pumpkin, carrots, raisins and walnuts - total yum - high fiber - good stuff that is good for you. Keeps you warm. Mornings of oatmeal too with the fixins'. Healthy eating.
Great left-overs and lunches.
Homestead is painted - done before the rains started. DH got the hang of the paint sprayer. Just have window trims and green trim on bottom and top to finish and the porches. Then he is off to the Queen Mother's to pressure wash and stain her house. Lots to keep him busy
Changed the Bumble Lab's food - we make our own - reduced the fur loss that can be so maddening - ground beef and brown rice - with a little kibble on top. She likes it and it seems to like her as well. She is pretty pushy at meal time - and in between wants to be a lap dog, which we have firmly refused. 85 lb. Bumble Lab does not make a good lap dog - at least not if you want to have a lap....
Time to head off to the office and leave my little piece of heaven...maybe, if I am not too tired tonight, I can come home to a great hot meal and come to the studio and play... plenty to work on and play with...
Be blessed,
Kim
