November update

Well, we've been keeping busy this month reading and writing and trying to stay motivated. Things are slowly getting written. I am getting restless for winter to arrive: cool, crisp air and snow and holiday cheer. But it will be here before we know it, I'm sure.



I have been entertaining myself by trying many new recipes, many from my Simply in Season cookbook. We have also been enjoying some nice organic beef that David and Rachel sent for Brian's birthday. We ate one of the steaks so far (so tasty) and also one pack of hamburgers. The hamburgers smelled soooo divine cooking, and they tasted very nice as well.



This picture is from yesterday evening. I took it out the window in the front room as the sun was setting. Most of the leaves left on this tree are brown, and I think they will fall soon. I love pictures that silhouette something complex (like a tree) against a beautiful sky.
