Apple cidering

Is what we decided to do on this beautiful warm first day of Fall....

We made about 2 gallons of this heavenly fresh juice, and every drop was worth the blisters on my fingers!

Red Gold and Green

For my little man.....

This is  a simple chain stich embroidery on the cuffs of an H&M black onesie ♥

Blossoms

I never dreamt                           
that tender blossoms
would be brown
Or precious angels
could come down
to live in the garden
of my giving heart
But here you are
brown angel

60 fingers and toes

I only realize the magnitude and sheer number of having 3 little ones when I have to clip 60 little brown fingers and toes....

And I absolutely love it ♥

Beads for my girl

Imani has been asking me to make her a crochet bead necklace lately.....

These are little crochet balls stuffed with soft

                                                                                          Alpaca wool

 ..... inspired by the warm earth tones of  the changing leaves, and the deep blue of the fall skies~

What makes you happy?

Today it was this.....

And this.....

Mostaccioli with cubed butternut squash, garden leeks, mushrooms, butter, sage white wine and ricotta salata.

Yum

Golden days

Nothing feels and smells more like end of summer then a golden wheat field, freshly cut.....earth baked by the sun, slightly yeasty smelling, flies lazily buzzing

Cool mornings, bright sun, we could have played here forever ~~~~~
come fall!  we are ready for you
