It is most definitely Autumn here and I am enjoying the crisp air and cosy evenings with the family. I have been simply taken over with the 'homemaking' bug and have been sewing and baking to beat the band! This lovely dish is an apple dumpling that I made for the family's dessert last night. I am pretty proud of my skills baking apple pies, but thought I'd try these since I hadn't baked them for years and years...Oh my did they turn out delicious! Served with Vanilla bean ice cream there was a lot of ooohs and ahhhs at our dinner table last night. My how I love to bake!!
I Love the weather this time of year. We started the morning dark and cloudy and now we are being treated to the most beautiful sunbursts and warm balmy weather.
I picked up these absolutely stunning flowers yesterday when we were at the local punkin' farm picking up the boys punkins and going on a hayride. They got to wade out into the field and pick their own punkin' out! This is a tradition in our home and they look forward to it every year. Tomorrow we have a big group coming over to carve punkins so that should be fun!
Little Buddies, measuring themselves to see how much they've grown since last year!
Eamonn, who just turned 4, pleased as punch with his punkin'!
Silly Boys...
Liam, now 5, happy with his pick too!
Hope you are all enjoying this wonderful time of year!
Happy Autumn :-)
