Kitchen Corner - Making Doughnuts with Grandma

Doughnut Batter

Cutting out the doughnuts

Frying up the doughnuts

Cooling and waiting to be cinnamon and sugared



The perfect doughnut...it took a while but finally it appeared and then disappeared!


Yummy!

I can not capture the beauty of fall on the farm...this golden maple tree was so amazing this fall.  A globe of gold leaves - magical in the sunlight of the late afternoon.

Natural Beauty


A fun time was had by all...I think!


Nature - Hiking the PA Grand Canyon


The day was beautiful for hiking..sunny, a bit warm, fall colors were vivid, family was together... 
I don't think it gets any better.



Raising Girls - Good Eggs



Good Eggs come in all sizes and colors!

If you look for beauty you will find beauty

Emma enjoys gathering the eggs, she came in yesterday hollering "MOM, Mom" from the back door.  I thought something was amiss...she just wanted me to look at the beauty of the eggs she gathered!

Raising Girls - Emma's Pumpkin Smile

HAPPY FALL mud and all!!

Family - Pumpkin Time


Happy Pumpkin Picker!
The largest pumpkin picked by Laura - 50lbs!



Daddy bringing in Emma's pumpkin!

Looks like this one is nearly 42lbs!




Emma picked out one for Eli - nearly 30lbs!

It was a rainy cold fall day here in PA, which pretty much sums up our fall so far.  But we are making the best of it and we go about our plans in the rain and cold none the less. 


Happy Pumpkin Pickers???
