The weather is getting cooler already in the mornings, yesterday we light a fire in the wood stove for a bit !
I always love the smell of wood smoke, it makes me think of the 1800's and Tasha Tudor :)
Joseph and Chubb are gone on a 6 hour trip driving Amish folks and will not be back until late Friday night.
James has been busy with work and helping Wesley with his new addition to his house ( I'll have to get pictures of that !)

I'll try to keep posting, but things are busy here on the farm and my grandparents are coming to visit from 16 hours away and are staying for some time. So posting may be sporadic for a bit, but I'll do my best :)

Recipes are great, I might make the cornbread for our next church supper. I might add some chopped green chilis tho. I will be posting later today - with some pictures finally. Have a wonderful time with your grandparents - I sure miss mine to visit with. Much love to everyone - give your Mom a big hug for me - Raquel xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
