October

out in the sun last week

I can hardly believe that tomorrow is the last day of October. It's actually been a really nice fall here in St. John's. Although we have still had the usual foggy, dreary, and just plain wet days, there has been a lot of sun too. Those beautiful crisp days where the sky and the ocean are just so blue! Also, there are quite a few yellow leaves around- I miss the bright reds of the sugar maples, but bright yellow is still nice!

Brian and I had a nice weekend, and spent most of Sunday afternoon in the kitchen which was quite relaxing. He made pulled pork (for sandwiches this week) and a delicious apple pie. I made oatmeal raisin cookies. Then, we had a lovely pie dessert with our friends at their place just up the road. I must brag a little and say that my husband makes amazing pies. I don't think I ever need to bother even trying to make them, he's got it down. And pie making is really an art. I guess that's what happens when your mom is the Baker Extraordinaire! He learned from the best.

This morning I am going with Bronwen to one of our (two) playgroups, where we are having a little Halloween party. I'll take a picture and post it later so then you can see what her costume is..
