Fall Harvest



I LOVE FALL!

I think that it is my favorite season. Spring comes in a close second though. I love the smells, the colors and the coolness in the air. The trees have all ready started to turn a little here, I can not wait till about the middle of October. It will be beautiful!

Last weekend I drug out my fall decorations, Mom got me the Fall Harvest door hanger last year and I think it looks pretty cute with the fall wreath behind it! I am dying to hit Hobby Lobby and pick up a couple more things for in the house. Maybe this weekend!

Garden ~
I think that the garden is beginning to slow down. The tomato plants still have green tomatoes on them, but I am afraid they are not going to turn with the cool weather we are having. We may have to have some fried green tomatoes pretty soon!

I picked this bunch on Sunday and Arturo just roasted them in the oven with EVOO and salt and pepper. Then he served it with lamb shanks that had been cooking in a port sauce most of the afternoon and orozo on the side. Oh my word, was it amazing! I love that he his a wonderful cook!
*Side note to Janet and LA we have, no let me correct myself, Arturo has used the pot multiple times, so far. I know that we will use the dog out of it this winter! Thank you again!*




Knitting ~
I am still knitting, I have three projects going on at once, and that is probably why I have not finished any of them! I get board with one and pick up another and just go back and forth. I am working on a Baby Surprise Jacket. It is giving me fits. I will try to take some pictures this week and get them up!

Running~
I am still running...Arturo and I ran three miles yesterday and I plan to run another three today. Then we will run three tomorrow. I am starting to loose some, it is just so slow. However, I really have not changed my diet, I still eat pretty much whatever I please. I do eat pretty good, just sometimes to much on the portion side. I really do need to work on getting that under control. It is just sooooo hard for me though. I LOVE TO EAT!

Well, that is about all I have to ramble about this morning. My car is in the shop so I have been at my desk since about 6:30 AM, so I better eat a bite and I guess do something productive.

Have a great day everyone!
