THE
SEASON
Even though the weather hasn’t gotten too much cooler, it’s dark in the mornings and evenings now, so it feels like the season has changed.
It helps that we are doing all the apple picking, pumpkin patching, and Halloween decorating to get into the spirit.
And now, bread baking.
How about you?
Banana bread
Pumpkin bread
Persimmon bread
Gingerbread
What’s your favorite?
Because the oven is crankin’ and everyone loves it when a week’s worth of breakfasts are taken care of thanks to a Sunday baking sesh.
PS Doesn’t our backyard look awesome!!! I know everyone’s lives in 2020 are a disaster, and ours have been too, but finally wrapping this project up has been the light at the end of the tunnel. And trust me, we have been NEEDING it. There were like 10 major hiccups along the way that caused royal headaches, but we have finally made it through!
And now we get to soak up the gorgeous fall weather watching football and hanging in our new space.
Heaven.
Fueled up on buttery bread, they head off to explore. I’m so thankful for the ability to let them seek out an adventure that feels wild and daring but is actually just behind our house.
They recently cut paths in the grass (probably a fire safety measure) which allows them to bike down the hills and along Putah Creek.
And since I’m sharing some family life pics, look at what we managed to capture on film…
It was canceled and rescheduled twice due to the smoke and crap AQI, but we finally did our hair and removed our masks for long enough to get some nice shots.
I love this girl. Distance learning is not my fave, but we aren’t miserable all the time.
Anyway, are you team nuts or no nuts in quick breads?
Long time readers know I hated nuts for most of my life ESPECIALLY when they ruined otherwise delicious baked goods, like oatmeal raisin cookies or carrot cake. But man have I ever come 180 on that! Now I prefer nuts to almost any other food!
Hope your baking season is off to a good start.
I just LOVE the family pic! Backyard looks AMAZING! Enjoy it to the max this fall! Hope your parents and your sisters families are all well. These times are certainly not even believable when you stand back and take an objective view. The world got to greedy and people had toooooooooo much narrow vision so maybe from all these tragedies everyone will certainly learn that it’s NOT all for me and none for you as human beings no matter who the hell you are. Keep up your snap stories and posting they r some sunshine in my day. ❤️🌈
Bombitters! Not proud that I remember this, but not mad about it either 😉
OMG I AM DYINGGGGGG. YES YES YES. hahaha
I remember thinking it was wild that you hated nuts! Team nuts in baked goods, for sure.
