raindrops on roses...

these 
are 
a few 
of my favorite things!


It is  officially fall.
We went from 90 degrees last weekend
to 54  yesterday and today.

Rain, gray skies, fuzzy blankets, 
sweatshirts,
space heaters,
and baking goodies.

My girl and I made this 
caramel-apple-upside-down cake
(found on pinterest)
yummi-o


recipe found here



Fall cleaning has begun,

my first soup of the year is simmering on the stove,

and

white pumpkins are promised for the weekend.



I am  hoping there will  be just a few more roses.




I am enjoying every. last. one.

  22. WOW - That cake sure looks great. Best looking dessert I have seen in a while.

    I copied the recipe and have to remember to check KA site more often.

    I had 5 apples left after eating some and I made baked apples this afternoon. They will be our treat for tonight.
