"I am so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."
~Anne of Green Gables, 1908
October has been a month of baking in our farmhouse. We have enjoyed trying some new recipes and some old ones. This is a pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting.
Fresh Baked Apple Pie
Bushels of apples await me in harvest baskets. Oh, how I love this time of the year!
This week we will be canning some apple sauce, apple butter, and apples for homemade pies.
I love to can apples because of its wonderful smell while they are simmering on the stove.
Cozy Fall!
Banana Nut Bread
These banana breads are tucked away
in the freezer--a treat for us on a cold winter day with a hot cup of coffee.
The hens are laying well this month, and I am sure they will start to slow down
on their laying before too long.
Our garden is still putting out some tomatoes. I have been picking them and placing them in the
hot greenhouse to ripen. So thankful that we are still getting some tomatoes.
The leaves in our area are just now starting to turn. I am looking forward to the changing of the leaves. God's grand finale before the gray days of winter.
Praying our lives will slow down to enjoy this beautiful season.
The girls and I have been collecting seeds from the garden and from zinnias. I remember my
grandmother collecting seeds from her garden for the coming spring.
May your fall be cozy!
