Baked custard and WM........

We seem to have an overabundance of eggs and so baked egg custard was on the menu.  Such a great comfort food and so simple to make, since we are cutting carbs, no crust... as in pie.  I love everything about William Morris prints, do you?  Such a talent and I am mesmerized by all that he accomplished in his lifetime.  We are having beautiful 60 and 70 degree days here in Kansas, that will be drastically changing day after tomorrow when the days high temp. will be 38 degrees....yikes!  Alaska is sending us a cold front that will last for several days/nights and wouldn't you know it the electric blanket is no where to be found.  We will be piling on the quilts for sure!  Have a great Sunday.....

Hello November!

I love November, it's my birthday month, Christmas is getting closer, winter is such a cozy time and even tho the days are shorter it seems I have more time for my sewing and reading.  A perfect time for making all those wonderful soup recipes I have been hoarding away and doing some baking of all things sweet and gooey!  All of the outdoor plants have been brought in for the winter and I have left potted one geranium and the big elephant ear which have taken up residence in the south windows of the dinning room.  We'll see how that goes.....Happy November!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Mr. Outdoors and I!

It's all good!

Colorado sunrise heading back to Kansas, new table all polished up and last but not least arrived back at the farm to find this beautiful rose waiting for us in the rose bed.  Hopefully not the last rose of summer but if it is that's ok, it's a beauty!

A couple of Bucks....

Saw these two guys on our way fishing today.  It seems impossible we are still able to fish @10,000" in late October.  Colorado is having a late winter for sure.....some Aspens are still perfectly beautiful! The sweet table I found at a 2nd hand store for $26.00, my find of the week for sure.  Love a bargain...

Christmas Ideas.........

Do you do Pinterest?  I do, confess I probably spend too much time gathering ideas, recipes, decorating ect.  Christmas has begun creeping into my mind and every year I do a different ornament for Family and Friends as gifts.  These are but a few I am liking and they are simple to make and when you have a lot to make simple is GOOD! The crochet lampshade's not for Christmas, just one I will make for a bedroom lamp I have.  Magical Monday!

October in the Mountains.....

Mountain tops are gathering some snow and the Aspens are beautiful this year.  Mr. Outdoors and I have been fishing and enjoying this mountain air.  Lots of elk hunters in the mountains, love the tents with wood stoves in them, you would need the warmth as it is in the 20's and 30's at night at 10,000' elevation.  What a fun way to camp and enjoy the beautiful mountains.
