Happy New Year !! ((hugs)) KateinNJ

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.
We were just us three this year and it all went pretty smoothly.Farmer Dad picked some nice fresh carrots in the morning..
I roasted them along with beets, onions, and butternut squash also all grown here.
We served them along with our turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, dressing, cranberry sauce,
brussel sprouts , rolls and gravy. Desert was pumpkin pie
and vanilla ice cream for the Princess who does not like pie. Here I am making a plate for the little one, and here's what my plate looked like as
I sat down to eat...

I hope your holiday was lovely and want you all to know how much I

appreciate you being in my life! Here is some more autumnal goodness

that I am thankful for...

Time has been flying by here in our corner of the Garden State
and I have had very little blog time. :-(
I am trying to get back into the swing of things and can't wait to visit you all and see what you have been up to.

Happy Thanksgiving ((big hugs)) KateinNJ

Autumn in our corner of the Garden State

The air is crisp and the skies clear..

Happy Fall Ya'll!!

Autumn Joy

The birds love the various Autumn berries that are popping up all over the yard..

Insects have been noshing on this fallen limb

We bought this sculpture at a craft fair in Calistoga ,California while I was 7 months

pregnant with my Princess. We were there to attend Farmer Dad's little brother's wedding.

Some plants are still flowering in pots around the yard despite the cold.

This butternut squash is still producing...Didn't I tell you we had lots of "Autumn Joy" around here?

I hope you are all enjoying Autumn as well!

A little birdie

and his friend

stopped by today in our little corner of the Garden State.

They didn't eat all the raspberries though, we found a couple to enjoy

as we played with friends in the yard.

Today in the Garden State

Sorry it has been so long since I blogged here... Today we were outside all day...enjoying the end of Summer in our corner
