Lennis brought home a truck load full of mums last week. My Saturday customers each received a mum to take home.
I worked late into the night Friday preparing the shop for Christmas.
Now it's a rainy cool Monday morning. The early light resembles twilight. The fall-back beginnings. Shorter nights and longer mornings. The late autumn days remind me of apple crisp. Brown sugar and toasted oats, cinnamon mixed in.
The Thanksgiving menu complete. A farm style traditional meal planned with homemade rolls and corn pudding.
I promised to share the corn pudding recipe.
