Beautiful.
Several of your comments resonate with me today. Thanks for sharing.
That last photo is bringing back childhood wood splitting memories.
I love fall too it's my favorite time of year.
Glad to hear things are good with your son and you guys are adjusting.
Can't wait to see what new item you knit, I just love them all.

Recipe??? Blueberry apple bread sounds amazing!
just go with the flow - when you go against it, everything is just, well, harder...
beautiful and honest thoughts...
thanks you lovely lovely ladies...
the blueberry apple bread is amazing... ron had some last night with a scoop of ice cream and he said it was quite possibly the best dessert he ever had... ever. the recipe is my mom's and will see if she wants to share :)
IMPORTANT!!
THIS IS TO BE USED IN A HEAVY "BUNDT" PAN!!
Gee's Apple Cake
Mix, set aside:
4 good size Apples
1 cup Blueberries
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 cup sugar
Blend:
1 1/2 cup oil
6 eggs
3 cups sugar
2 tlbs. vanilla
Then Add:
4 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp. salt
4 1/2 tsp. baking powder
Pre-heat oven to 350'
Batter is VERY THICK! Pour half of the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan. Then spread the apple and blueberry mixture on top of that and then add the rest of the batter over the top of apples and blueberries. Place in middle of oven rack and bake for about a hour and 20 minutes. Knife should come out clean. Cool and tun up-side down on a good size baking sheet covered with foil or a cake plate if you have a good size one.
We keep our cake covered in the freig., we like it cold, or keep coved on counter.
Enjoy! Gee!
Oh my gosh! Your Mom posted her recipe!!! :-) I was just thinking that sounded yummy when I read your post! And I have never had that combination. I just finished off the last slice of chocolate chip pecan pie myself (and my the size looked like a 1/4 of the pie!). Wow, the big due date is getting closer...will be thinking of you on Thursday. I bet your Mom is exicted about it all.
I agree, a break maybe just the right thing. I'm not sure if the universe has been telling me to do the same thing, but creatively its been the same way here.
Apple and blueberry bread soounds delicious!
Oh my gosh, that Apple Cake sounds delish. I think I will make it today. As luck would have it, all of the ingredients are in my house. SCORE!! Tell your mother thanks for sharing.
Beautiful photos in this post and the previous post!!!
The cake recipe sounds heavenly.
Take care during these busy days!!!
