::right now::

… thankful for our pecan harvest (they’re a little dry since we didn’t do a good job watering them but they’ll be great for pesto and baking)

…waiting for our apple and cinnamon breakfast cake to come out of the oven – seriously late breakfast but maybe I can get out of cooking lunch? (recipe from Heather’s Whole Foods Workshop)

… shelling pecans whenever we feel “bored”

…excited about the colder temperatures – 40’s for the lows and 70’s for the highs

…using the outer casing of the pecans to make “new” eyes

…harvesting our lemons – a few at a time

…enjoying lemonade and lemon dewberry muffins (again from Heather, from her 30 Day Vegan class)  original recipe has blueberries but we didn’t store any of our blueberries

…saying things such as, “I can’t believe we have grapefruit, it’s been so long”  or “Mom, I love you because you bought grapefruit” (this one from Ester) these are the joys of eating seasonally

…anxiously awaiting the ripening of oranges and grapefruit from friends.

…wondering how long it will be before our orange, grapefruit and lime trees produce

…praying for those on the east coast as they await the arrival of Sandy

Thanks for sharing with your friends!
