My Favorite Time of Year!

 

Good Afternoon! Well, I am working overtime  trying to get everything I want to do DONE! Fall seems to leave so quickly so I am so happy I got a head start this year. I did some decorating outside and will still probably tweak it this weekend. I'm so happy the weather is  cool. I made banana bread this morning! I think I'll be doing a lot of cooking this weekend. I'm in full nesting mode so that means lots of comfort food.

My chicken coop has been readied for cooler weather. The chickens are moulting so the coop was full of feathers! ugh! Feathers are a hard thing to round up! My chickens are so loveable that as I am cleaning they follow me around because they want me to pick them up and snuggle them . Anyway, their bedding is thick and warm for the upcoming cooler nights. 

I plan to make an apple cake soon. I've gathered some recipes and will see which one I make.  I bought some Macintosh apples. Do you have a good Fall recipe you just love? Pumpkin Crunch cake is awesome. It's funny that I actually had to BUY eggs. My chickens are moulting and not laying very much. Over the Summer I was getting two dozen eggs per week. Now I'm only getting one egg a day! I told them they are my feathered freeloaders! 

See those little buns on the bottom plate? That's some of the primitive faux food I made. It was fun to do. I bought fake food from Hobby Lobby and with mod podge, cinnamon, coffee grinds and tea bags I worked on a few little projects.  I want to try making cupcakes out of foam insulation! I see so many talented people making them, and mug toppers, and cakes and they look incredible. 

I'm looking forward to the movie on Sunday night on the Hallmark Mystery channel. It's an Amish story. I hope its good! It's called Follow Your Heart. I also hope the way the Amish are portrayed is accurate. 

I hope you have an awesome weekend!
