Fall

Absolutely gorgeous! I love this big tree in the front yard. Yes, my yard is already full of leaves. No, I don't really plan to rake them up - maybe never, but certainly not before every single leaf falls off the tree!



This was the start of our first fire in our fireplace. I think the foil is going to work just fine to help catch the ashes and make it easier to clean up. It also helps create a nice glow with the reflected light.



And these - sigh - oh so yummy. These are oatmeal chocolate chip cookies from a recipe I've been using for over 25 years. They make my mouth happy!
